Clearing Up of Criminal & Arrest Records

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

This means you can answer "No" to a question regarding convictions 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 "sealed" automatically with the passage of time, but require the filing of a Petition in Court.

A successful Petition can 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" and destruction of all records;

• The reduction of a conviction from felony to misdemeanor;

• The granting of a Certificate of Rehabilitation.
