What is Expungement?

Criminal record expungement in California is essentially a clean slate to those that have a criminal conviction on their record. Although a criminal record may never be completely erased, having a criminal record expunged blocks potential employers from using that information against you. The options for expungement are unique to each case, there are some general guidelines that affect most criminal expungement matters. In many circumstances, the individual must have completed all of the terms of their probation. The individual should also not be charged with another offense during this time, or be serving probation for another offense.

Are You Eligible for Expungement?

Generally, to be qualified for expungement you must:

  • Have completed all the terms of your probation
  • Not be charged with, or serving probation for another offense

In many cases, a successful expungement of a criminal record may depend on convincing a judge to exercise a certain level of discretion in order to approve your petition. This may be possible based on your overall performance on probation or the lack of severity for the conviction in question. Good behavior and a show of good faith may go a long way for expungement.

Expungement Ineligibility

Keep in mind that there are some criminal offenses that are ineligible for expungement in California. For example, sex crimes against children cannot be expunged from a record. In many circumstances, serving a sentence in state prison makes a conviction ineligible. This is why it is important to have the right criminal lawyer on your side; your future options with expungement may begin with how effectively your trial defense in court is handled.
