Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: background check for employment

You will not like my answer to this question. If an employer does the correct search they will find this misdemeanor conviction for years to come.

You have 2 choices: Hire someone to get an expungement which gives you an argument that you have never been convicted or, at least, a chance to explain you are now a different person and have taken steps to prove it or;

Do nothing and hope the employers do not find it.

I would suggest the first option as it is relatively inexpensive.

Call us if you want a free consultation to discuss the expungement.

Forever, unless you can get it expunged with a motion to the court. Contact me if interested in doing so.

Your criminal history is not like your credit record, where bad marks fall off after a period of time. Convictions are permanent and will remain part of your history forever unless you have them expunged.

You might want to hire a criminal attorney to get your conviction expunged; it is not a complex task and should involve only a modest fee.
