Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

ANY state licensing, like RE, will be affected and questionable with convictions on your record. You know about expungement already, Even if expunged, your record is accessible to government agencies, law enforcement, courts, background checks, insurance companies, etc. Expungement will help in obtaining employment. When applying for a job in the private sector, in response to any question concerning your prior criminal record, you may �legally� deny that you were arrested or convicted of the offense.

HOWEVER, you must disclose the arrest and conviction in any questionnaire or application for certification or licensing by any government agency [RE, medical, legal, educational, professional, law enforcement, security clearances, bonding, etc], for public office, for a position as a peace officer, for contracting with the California State Lottery, or for purposes of serving on a jury. The licensing agency then will decide whether the nature of the past convictions and your record will bar you from licensing and employment in that field.

If you�re serious about doing this, and you think you qualify under those rules, feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.

You can get them expunged, but when applying for a license with the DRE, you have submit fingerprints and copies of those records will be provided to the DRE from the DOJ.
