Clean Your Record

Cleaning your record is something you may want to consider if you have previously been convicted of a crime. The most common way to do this is what is commonly called an “expungement.” However, in California the actual process is done by filing motions with the court and if necessary supporting documentation prior to the court hearing arguments on the matter.

You may also be able to reduce certain felony convictions to a misdemeanor by filing what is called a 17(b) motion or via the recently passed Prop 47 which allows the court to reduce certain felony drug and theft convictions to misdemeanors.

Prior convictions can be a stigma, a deterrent to future employment, or simply an embarrassing reminder of past mistakes. No matter what the reason, if you are interested in cleaning your record, contact our office for a consultation with our experienced legal team to help you move on with your life to a brighter future.
