Re: Clean Record

Yes, it is called an expungement, and with a misdemeanor it is a fairly easy procedure given you have completed all court requirements. Please give us a call toll free at 1-866-YOU-ARE-INNOCENT in order to set up a free consultation to discuss the details of your case.

Yes, if you have served all probation, and the case if over, and if you have had at least a year or more beyond the end of probation without further problems, then I can prepare the application and paperwork to request the court purge your record, for a reasonable cost. If sucessful, you can then say you've never been convicted, since the conviction is withdrawn and a dismissal entered instead.

Contact me if interested.

Re: Clean Record

Thank you for your inquiry. Penal code section 1203.4 allows you to apply to the court for an expungement, to get the criminal record cleared for certain purposes.
