Sacramento/Solano Expungement Attorney

Expungements - Clear Your Criminal Record

Thousands of people in California have criminal records long after they have served their jail sentences, completed probation, and/or paid their fines. Yet, most people don't know that they may be able to clear the record or seal their criminal history from the public's view.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clearing Your Criminal Record
Our criminal defense attorneys strive to answer all of your questions about expungement, from how to clear a felony from your record to understanding why it is so important to clear your criminal record.

What is expungement?
Expungement is clearing or sealing one's criminal records. Your criminal record consists of all of your misdemeanor and felony convictions.

What can I clear from my criminal record?
Your criminal record consists of all of your misdemeanor and felony convictions. You may be eligible to have your arrest record sealed from public view or all of your convictions set aside and dismissed.

Is it important to clear my record?
A criminal record can prevent you from getting good jobs and benefits, obtaining credit, coaching youth sports, voting, renting an apartment, receiving certain licenses and other important activities. In today's rough economy, employers, landlords, and government agencies are doing more extensive background checks before they hire, rent, or give licenses. An expungement can protect you from the public from gaining access to your past and preventing you from getting the opportunities you deserve.

Can all criminal convictions be cleared?
Not all criminal convictions can be expunged. Contact us now for your free consultation 916-449-9636 or 707-422-1202.

What will the attorneys at Choyce & Crowell, do for me?
At your free consultation, we will first determine if you qualify for an expungement. We prepare a motion to be filed with the court. We set a hearing before the judge. In most cases, the client does not need to be there, which saves them time and embarrassment. At the hearing we petition the judge to seal or dismiss your record, at which time the prosecutor can object. Having a skilled attorney who knows the law in this area will help counter an objection by the prosecutor and show the court that the expungement is justified.

In most cases, an expungement will be granted by the judge. This process is quick, inexpensive, and can have a significant impact on your future quality of life. Our expungement lawyers have helped hundreds of clients clear a criminal record in California. Contact our expungement attorneys today for a free consultation.
