I hear you can get blood from a turnip just as easily.
"Expungement
To obtain an expungement, a criminal defendant must petition the court to have all case documents, such as the arrest record, removed and destroyed. If an expungement is granted, the defendant can deny ever being arrested for or charged with a particular criminal offense. Whether or not an expungement is awarded depends on the level of the charge, the outcome, and other factors.
For example, a Class “C” misdemeanor such as public intoxication or disorderly conduct can often be expunged. If your case was dismissed, depending on the charge, expungement may be possible. If you were found “not guilty”, you may be awarded an expungement.
Nondisclosure
A successful nondisclosure petition will prohibit court officials and law enforcement organizations from disclosing your criminal record to third parties such as employers.
Deferred Adjudication
Deferred adjudication allows a defendant to defer any guilty judgement until successfully completing probation, at which time the court can dismiss the case, paving the way for expungement of the case record."
Hardly seems worth it though for simple asault
