What Does the Expungement Process Involve?
The expungement process generally includes these steps:
- Review Your Criminal Record. We carefully examine your case history to determine eligibility.
- Prepare the Petition. We draft the necessary legal documents to file with the court.
- File the Petition. We submit your petition to the appropriate court in San Diego.
- Court Hearing. In some cases, a hearing may be scheduled where a judge will review your petition.
- Court Decision. If approved, the court will issue an order to dismiss your conviction.
- Notification. We ensure that relevant agencies, including the DMV and law enforcement, receive notice of the expungement.
What Are the Benefits of Expungement?
Expungement can open doors that were previously closed due to a criminal record. Some key benefits include:
- Improved Employment Opportunities. Many employers conduct background checks. An expunged conviction generally does not need to be disclosed.
- Housing Access. Landlords may be more willing to rent to someone with an expunged record.
- Educational Opportunities. Some schools consider criminal history during admissions. Expungement can remove barriers.
- Peace of Mind. Expungement can help you move forward without the constant reminder of past mistakes.
- Legal Rights Restored. In some cases, expungement can restore rights like owning firearms or professional licenses.
Can All Convictions Be Expunged?
No. Certain convictions are excluded from expungement eligibility, including:
- Serious or violent felonies as defined by California law.
- Convictions requiring registration as a sex offender.
- Cases where probation was revoked or not completed.
- Convictions involving certain drug trafficking offenses.
Each case is unique, it’s important to have an experienced attorney from Lee Law Group DUI & Criminal Attorneys review your record and advise you on your options.
What If I Have Multiple Convictions or Felonies?
If you have multiple convictions, an expungement may still be possible, but the process can be more complex. Felony convictions may require reduction to misdemeanors before expungement is available. Lee Law Group DUI & Criminal Attorneys has experience navigating these challenges and can help you understand the best path forward.
How Long Does the Expungement Process Take?
The timeline varies depending on the court’s schedule and the complexity of your case. Typically, the process can take several months from filing to final order. We keep you informed every step of the way and work efficiently to help you achieve your goal as soon as possible.
