Clearing Your Criminal Record

Expungement Lawyer Serving Los Angeles, California

A criminal record may include arrests, convictions and guilty pleas for misdemeanor and felony offenses. Even if you were arrested and the case was dismissed or charges were not formally filed, you will still have an arrest on your record. Having a criminal record can have a number of negative effects, ranging from a damaged reputation to being unable to lawfully own a firearm or work in certain fields. A criminal record will limit employment, housing and financial opportunities and will remain for life unless something is done about it.

In California, expungement is the legal process which allows a person to clear his or her criminal record. While the record itself is not physically destroyed or permanently sealed, it is removed from the public record. Only governmental agencies will have access to the record, and this means that applying for employment at a private company will reveal no criminal background, as will a background check conducted by any personal or professional acquaintance. In most situations, a person who has gone through the expungement process will be able to legally deny a criminal record.
