Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: expungement

If your goal is to get into police work expungement of these convictions will not prevent a government agency from seeing them. This may prevent your being hired as a police officer.

Re: expungement

Some Felony convictions are considered wobblers, that means they can be reduced to misdemeanors. If it is a wobbler, our office will make a motion to the court requesting the felony to be reduced to a misdemeanor and then expunge your record. Call me, Arthur Khachatourians, ESQ. @323-655-7180 or 818-590-8294 to help you in this matter.

Re: expungement

Once all probation terms are met and over, then sometimes felonies can be reduced to misdemeanors and then expunged. If prison was served or ordered, no expungement. Many domestic violence and weapons charges are usually not expungeable. Some drug charges are. Feel free to contact me to discuss the facts and procedures if interested in doing this right. However, even if expunged, convictions have to be disclosed on app's for government licenses and credentials, police agencies, security checks, bonding, etc. Expungement works best to allow you to say 'no' to convictions on employment app's to private employers. Most larger police agencies will not accept anyone with convictions, expunged or otherwise.
