Southern California Expungement Attorney and Lawyer

If you have been convicted of a crime and have received probation, you have probably realized the stigma a criminal conviction may bring. If you have a prior conviction, it can make your life difficult in ways other people may not realize. Employers may be hesitant to hire you. You may have problems obtaining suitable housing. Regardless of the length of time since you were convicted, your criminal record will remain unchanged without affirmative action on your part. At the Southern California Legal Group, we  have expungement lawyers who take pride in helping clients clear criminal convictions from their records so that they can turn a new leaf and start again fresh.

If you have made one mistake which resulted in a conviction for which probation was granted, except in limited circumstances, a petition to expunge your conviction pursuant to Penal Code 1203.4 can be filed. Through this process, if you have successfully completed probation (i.e., paid all fines, performed any work release, completed required treatment programs and have not been arrested on any new charges) you may petition the court to withdraw your guilty or no contest plea, have a plea of not guilty entered and have the matter dismissed. After a successful petition, you could thereafter represent that you were not convicted for that particular offense, except in limited circumstances. With the help of an experienced expungement attorney, you can begin the process of clearing your record.

If you were convicted of an offense and are still on probation for that offense, provided that you have done well on probation, the Court may consider a petition under Penal Code 1203.3 to terminate the probationary period early if it would be in the best interests of justice. Circumstances which could warrant probation being terminated early would include offers of employment contingent on you not being on probation. Understanding that many petitions to terminate probation early are opposed by the District Attorney, you are advised to seek the counsel of a lawyer familiar with these types of petitions to maximize the likelihood of success.

The negative connotations associated with a criminal record do not have to follow you forever.
