Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: Expunging a Felony Conviction

It very well may be expunged depending upon the charge. I would be happy to discuss it with you personally. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504.

Re: Expunging a Felony Conviction

Thank you for your posting.

To be precise, a felony cannot be expunged. That doesn't mean you don't have options, however. You can obtain a certificate of rehabilitation if the felony was in California, but as you suggest, that takes a period of 10 years from the conviction date. If your original case was a "wobbler", meaning that it can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony, you can bring a motion to reduce it to a misdemeanor, and then expunge the misdemeanor, taking it off your record. "Good cause", or a good reason to do so, has to be shown, and the other considerations, as you've asked, are whether or not you've received any new violations, and whether or not you completed all of the terms of probation.

Re: Expunging a Felony Conviction

The answer to your question is maybe. Certain felony convictions can never be expunged and therefore, the applicant must apply for a certificate of rehabilitation (Governor's Pardon).
