People convicted of certain crimes can have their records “expunged”, after their case has been resolved. In California, this typically means our firm files legal documents before the court, asking the court to withdraw your guilty plea or no-contest plea, enter a plea of not guilty, and have your case dismissed.
Most all misdemeanors can be expunged. Felonies can be expunged provided that the Defendant has not served time in state or federal prison.
The court will review your rap sheet. In addition, the District Attorney will have the right to oppose our motion regarding your case. If you have completed your probation in a satisfactory manner, and have not committed any new offenses, the chances of winning your case are very high. The court will probably grant the motion.
