What to do if I was arrested 3 years ago for domestic violence but the DA did not charge me and told me to call back in 6 months to have the charge removed?

I got the runaround because no one knew where to send me. I cannot go there because I moved out of state. What are my options to get this charge removed? Can I do this myself?

Given the uncertainty about the prior situation that you got yourself in, I recommend that you consult with a criminal defense attorney practicing in the county where you were arrested to look into the matter further for you. If you do not know of one, a competent attorney can be located via attorneypages.com in such a locality.
