California Expungement

Under California law if you were convicted of a misdemeanor or a felony and were not sentenced to state prison or under the authority of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, you can petition for a dismissal This means you were given county jail time, probation, a fine or a combination. If you petition for a dismissal, the court on proper motion, may withdraw your guilty or no contest plea or verdict of guilt and enter a not guilty plea. Then the court will set aside and dismiss the conviction. From that point forward you are considered no longer convicted of the offense and your record will be changed to show a dismissal rather than a conviction. You are eligible for dismissal of a conviction and the court will dismiss your conviction if for instance you received probation for that conviction and successfully completed probation, paid all the fines, restitution and reimbursements ordered, you are not currently serving another sentence or on probation for another offense and you are not charged with another offense. Some convictions are not eligible for dismissal.
