Certainly an expungement could help your situation. An expungement is a process where a person's conviction may be removed from their record.

Some of the collateral consequences of convictions (such as sex offender registration and the prohibition against carrying a firearm) are sometimes not removed by an expungement. Each case and each Penal Code section is different.

The status of your probation does play a part in this process. Please call our office at (800) 382-3100 so that we can get some specific information in order to help your employemnt situation.
