Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Clearing my record...

I was convicted of a felony about 8 years ago. I had just turned 18 when it happened. I went to state prison and served 16 months of two years. Today I have really changed my life around. I have excellent credit, I got my high diploma. I could petition my associate�s degree but I changed my major. I got a real estate license after a long struggle because of my background. I am about to finish registered nursing school. I am not only good at it I am the best. I know I am going to have a hard time with he boards when it is time to take the exams. I have heard many times that I will never be a nurse. They told me the same about being a real estate agent but look at me now. It honestly seems like the government just wants me to return to a life of crime. I have done everything I can to show I am a good citizen. I volunteer, I go to college, and I vote. I just want to be part of this society so bad.

Re: Clearing my record...

Yes, it is a very common problem. The cards are indeed stacked against someone who wants to rebuild his life following a crime.

There is a range of post-conviction remedies including Certificates of Rehabilitation and gubernatorial pardons. Please feel free to call me to discuss.
