San Diego Record Expungement Attorney

Expungement of criminal convictions refers to a legal process by which a person's criminal record is altered in a favorable manner.

The type of expungement that is appropriate to a given criminal case will vary, depending upon many factors.

Expungement of a criminal case has many benefits, chiefly the ability to deny a conviction when asked by a potential employer.

Expungement will usually require an Attorney to draft a motion  which is a formal legal document asking the court to take a particular action. The expungement motion will be filed with the court that sentenced you, and will also have to be served on the prosecutor and, in some cases, the probation department. To get an Order of Expungement, the court must be convinced that you have led an honest and upright life, and the interests of justice would be served by granting the request.
