Many people who have been convicted of an offense often feel haunted by their criminal past. It can be an unnerving experience to have the possibility of a background check looming over prospective employment opportunities. It can also be devastating to be held back from obtaining a new job or a loan because of a minor offense that you were convicted of due to a poor decision made in your past. Fortunately, it is possible to seal your criminal records, in what is known as an expungement, so that what happened at a previous point in your life can be left out of your present circumstances.
California juvenile crime offenders commonly seek to have their records sealed so that they can have a fresh start and not risk being held back from a variety of financial, educational, and professional opportunities. Once an offender has been fully rehabilitated, sealing their criminal record can be a good step towards reinstating his or her civil rights. Expungements have often helped individuals establish their place in society without having their criminal history weighing on their shoulders.
Some offenders make the mistake of thinking that their criminal record will automatically become sealed on its own after a certain amount of time has passed. However, an expungement is indeed a legal process that requires much action on the part of the offender. Many people also fail to realize that a felony conviction in California may be reduced to a misdemeanor. However, the California felony conviction must be a crime that initially could have been charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony. This type of reduction typically can be particularly intricate and usually requires the legal assistance of a skilled criminal defense attorney that has the experience and resources to accurately build an effective case for charges reduction.
The process of obtaining an expungement can be complicated in terms of the standing of your current criminal record, the jurisdiction in which your offense took place, the history of your incarceration, the progress of your rehabilitation, and many other elements. In order to make sure no stone is left unturned in gathering all the important information and evidence to demonstrate why you deserve to have your criminal records sealed, you may find it beneficial to have an experienced Orange County expungement attorney on your side.
