Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Expungement petition

I would like to know where I can find several sample petitions for filing for an expungement for a misd. case which occurred in 1987 (carrying firearm in public). Sentence was a fine and 1 year informal probation.

I can't afford the $500 everyone seems to be charging and I have been told that I can successfully petition and have this expunged.....I just need some sampe petitions so I know how to put it together.

Thanks.

Re: Expungement petition

Thank you for your inquiry. You may want to check with the court where the case is you seek to have expunged. Many courts have a local form that they require. If not, your local law library may have practice guides or other resources with samples, or you can, in some cases, hire an experienced paralegal to draft documents for you, although they cannot give you legal advice.

I hope this helps, but feel free to email, or call, for more information.
