Expungement Assessment
A criminal record can significantly weigh you down for the rest of your life. The best method for dealing with this is to hire a Calabasas expungement attorney. Our team of professional expungement attorneys at EZ Record Clean will start on your case immediately to get you free from your criminal past.
Expungements can take anywhere from 2-8 months depending on how busy the courts are. An attorney can help take steps to speed up the process and get your record expunged much quicker than usual.
Expungements are based on state laws and not on the federal level, which results in every state having its own laws on the issue. Some states are more strict on this issue than others. Fortunately, in California, you have a high chance of successfully expunging your criminal record.
A successful expungement is the process of wiping your record clean of any criminal convictions. The record will not be sealed, but instead, a Calabasas judge will reopen the original criminal matter and dismiss the case under specific Penal Codes such as 1203.3 and 1203.4. After this process, the conviction will not show up on any background or criminal record. Employers and landlords will see a clean slate.
There are many different paths to take to having a criminal record expunged in Calabasas. Each path has its own requirements, but all paths have common requirements that must always be met. These requirements include:
If you served time in county jail, expunging your record will be much easier than if you spent time in state prison. Although possible, these expungements become more complicated and are usually limited to seeking a Certificate of Rehabilitation instead of an expungement.
The facts based on your individual case will determine if you are eligible for an expungement or not. Our attorneys can review your case and help assess the best option for you. Please contact us at (657) 217-2799 to learn more about options available to your specific situation.
There are a few limitations when it comes to expungements in Calabasas. An expungement will not restore your firearm rights or a suspended driver’s license.
A permanent criminal record can make it difficult to move on with your life. This is why it is worth your time to seek record expungement by hiring a Los Angeles County attorney through EZ Record Clean. Here are the top benefits that you will receive from a successful expungement:
Most employers conduct background checks on potential employees and overlook people's job applications with a criminal record. If your record is expunged, they will not see the criminal conviction, and you can legally answer "No" when asked if you've been convicted of a crime.
Landlords also commonly run background checks on potential tenants. If a landlord learns you have a criminal record, they are less likely to accept you and are more likely to charge you higher rent if accepted.
Taking out a loan can help you take back control of your finances. Unfortunately, some loan agencies will look at your criminal record to determine if you are eligible for a loan. This leaves you subject to high interest rates or loan denials.
College administrators will typically deny applicants who have been convicted of a crime. Expunging this conviction will prevent these universities from seeing the conviction on your background check.
