There are plenty of lawyers in Southern California who are perfectly capable of preparing and filing your expungement petition, but there can only be one "best". When it's time to clean up your criminal record, don't settle for "good enough". Instead, call the firm that has the experience to get the job done quickly, affordably, and correctly the first time.
What Does an Expungement Do?
California law provides several different options to clean up old criminal records, to reduce felony convictions to misdemeanors (and misdemeanors to infractions, in some cases), and to seal arrest records from public view. We offer free consultations to help decide which option is best for each prospective client.
A traditional expungement results in a case being dismissed after the defendant has completed serving all penalties. If the defendant has done so and does not have any other open or pending cases, then he or she is automatically entitled to have the case dismissed. The old charge may still show up on some official records, but employers may not use expunged cases to discriminate against job applicants.
In the past couple of years, the legislature has expanded the law to allow expungements in cases that were not previously eligible. If you've been denied in the past, call us to see whether or not you might be eligible to reapply.
Our Advantages
Our firm's small staff and low overhead help keep costs down for our clients. In most cases, we can successfully process expungement petitions for a fraction of what bigger firms charge. We even offer easy payment plans to fit any budget.
When you hire us to perform legal services, you're not paying for our bloated advertising budget or lavish amenities; you're paying for the results that we consistently deliver.
Each of our clients receives one-on-one, personal attention from the attorney who will be responsible for handling their case to completion. We never hand off important work to junior associates or outsource our cases. If you have a question, call or email any time for a prompt response.
We work quickly and we work efficiently. Our office has the experience necessary to prepare expungement petitions, file them with the court, and serve them on the DA within 24-48 hours after we're hired. Depending on the court's backlog, expungement orders may be granted as soon as 3 weeks after they're filed.
Personally, expungements are some of my favorite cases to handle. I've heard other attorneys complain about the tedious paperwork, but I find expungement petitions to be rewarding. As a criminal defense attorney, it's always great to call a client when I have some good news to share.
If you or a loved one has questions about expungements in California, call us for a free attorney consultation. (714) 449-3335. Ask for John.
