Expungements


In order to begin cleaning up your criminal record, you first need to know what is on your criminal record. The court will require you to fill out forms. Whether you are requesting a dismissal or a Certificate of Rehabilitation, you will need to know the details of your convictions(s) in order to complete the forms. Also, certain details will affect whether you are eligible. There are several details our office will need to know in order to effectuate an expungment on your behalf:

  1. Your Case Number(s) [Sometimes called docket number.]
  2. Your Date(s) of Conviction(s) [The date of your plea or verdict.]
  3. The Code Name(s) and Section Number(s) you were convicted of violating.
  4. Was there a "Verdict" or did you "Enter a Plea"? If you Entered a Plea, was it "Guilty" or "Nolo Contendere" (No Contest)?
  5. Were you ordered to serve any time on "Probation"? If so, how long? [Formal and informal probation are treated the same.]
  6. Were you ordered to pay any "Fines," "Restitution," or "Reimbursement"?
  7. If you were sentenced to state prison, which one?
  8. If you were sentenced to state prison, what date were you released?
  9. If you were released on "Parole," what date did your parole end?

Information employers are not entitled to when hiring

In California, section 432.7 of the Labor Code, states "No employer shall ask an applicant for employment to disclose information concerning an arrest or detention that did not result in conviction, or information concerning a referral to, and participation in, any diversion program, nor shall any employer seek from any source whatsoever, or utilize, as a factor in determining any condition of employment including hiring, promotion, termination any record of arrest or detention that did not result in conviction.

However an employer is not prevented from asking an employee or applicant for employment about an arrest for which the employee or applicant is out on bail or on his or her own recognizance pending trial.
