California Expungement Attorney – Clear Your Record & Reclaim Your Future
​
A criminal record can follow you long after a case is over. It can affect job opportunities, professional licenses, housing, education, immigration considerations, and your peace of mind. Expungement offers the chance to erase old mistakes and move forward with confidence. Our firm helps clients across Los Angeles, Orange County, San Bernardino, and Riverside clear their records and rebuild their futures with dignity.
​
Why Expungement Matters
Even a misdemeanor or older felony conviction can create barriers. Employers run background checks. Licensing boards dig deeper. Landlords often screen applicants. An expungement can remove the conviction from your public criminal record, allowing you to answer “no” when asked whether you’ve been convicted of a crime in most job applications. It’s not just a legal process—it’s a fresh start.
​
Who Qualifies for Expungement in California?
California offers expungement for many cases, including most misdemeanors and many felonies. You may qualify for expungement if:
-
You completed probation successfully
-
You paid all fines, fees, and restitution
-
You are not currently charged with a crime
-
You are not on probation or parole
-
Your conviction is eligible under California law
We review your case thoroughly to confirm eligibility and explore alternative options if expungement isn’t available.
