Expunge Criminal Records

California Law allows you to expunge your criminal conviction by withdrawing your plea and having the case dismissed, under most circumstances.

The law is somewhat complex in certain areas, but expungement of a record is something that SHOULD be done by anyone with even a minor history of arrest or conviction.

Contrary to popular belief, records are not expunged automatically with the passage of time, but require the filing of a Petition in Court.

A successful Petition may result in:

• Expunging an adult criminal conviction by a withdrawal of plea and dismissal of the case;

• Deeming an arrest a "detention only";

• Sealing and destroying a juvenile record;

• A finding of "Factual Innocence";

• The reduction of a conviction from felony to misdemeanor;

• The granting of a Certificate of Rehabilitation.
