About the firm:
|
In most cases we can Expunge your criminal conviction by withdrawing your plea of guilty or no contest, entering a new "Not Guilty" plea, and having the case dismissed and set aside by the Court.
The law is complex in certain areas, but expungement is something that SHOULD be done by everyone with even a minor record. Records are not automatically expunged with the passage of time. The Expungement procedure will take from 6 to 16 weeks (sometimes longer) depending upon the Court, the complexity of the case, and how old the conviction is.
Depending upon the facts of your case, successful petitions may result in:
The withdrawal of a plea and dismissal of the case;
Reduction of conviction from a felony to misdemeanor;
Having an arrest changed to a "detention only";
Sealing and destruction of a juvenile record;
Sealing and destruction of arrest records;
Sealing of Diversion ('1000 PC') records;
Early release from Probation;
Expungement can mean better employment, a clearer path to a professional license, and peace of mind.
