Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: misdemeanor offense

You can do what is called an expungement. A lawyer could do it for you for a modest fee. Alternatively, you could try to do it yourself. You would need to contact the clerk at the courthouse where you were convicted to get the right forms, to start the process.

Re: misdemeanor offense

You want an expungement. Yes, the charge can be expunged. Although it does not completely remove it from the record it essentially makes it no longer count against you for employment purposes and some other things. It is called a 1203.4 expungement. I would suggest hiring an attorney to assist you with it. The fee for a single charge should not be high, somewhere between 500 and 1200 dollars depending on your location and the attorney you hire. They will be able to get it done without much delay. If you want to do it yourself, go online to courtinfo.com and look under the self help section regarding expungements. You can also go to a local family law facilator's office and they may assist you with it. Good luck

Re: misdemeanor offense

With a successful expungement motion and application to the court, you will be able to say 'no' to conviction on most private employment applications. Feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.
