Tustin Expungement

Tustin Expungement

Misdemeanor & Felony Expungement in California

Tustin Criminal Records – There was a time when there was actually something known as privacy in this country. The concept is mostly laughable these days, particularly if you have any type of criminal record. This is particularly true for California criminal records, which appear in all the major databases tapped by background check companies. Given this, it is a good life and career move to find out if your record is clean.

How does the process work?

1
Step 1
Preparation
The first step is to hire an attorney who will help you prepare for the expungement. They will assess your situation and develop a strong case for you.
2
Step 2
Filing
The next step is to file a motion of expungement with a California state court. Our attorneys will help you with all of the documentation that goes into filing for an expungement.
3
Step 3
Present
A judge will be assigned to your case and will assess your petition for expungement. With a strong enough case, they will usually go ahead and expunge the conviction.
4
Step 4
Expunge
If the judge decides to expunge your case, your conviction will be dismissed and cleared from all standard background checks.

Clean Slate?

You have always wanted to be a pediatrician for as long as you can remember. The time finally comes to get serious about it. You go through undergraduate school and earn your pre-med degree. You then go to medical school before graduating with honors. Next up is your residency. You finally finish with that and about $150,000 in student loans. That is okay because you are ready to sit for your medical license and start practicing.

You send in your application. One day, a notice comes in the mail from the Medical Board. Your application has been rejected. The reason? You have a criminal record showing an assault and battery conviction from when you were in a brawl in high school. As a crime of “moral turpitude,” the Medical Board will not grant you a license.

Great.

There you sit with a medical degree and $150,000 in student loans. What are you going to do now? Oh, I should probably mention that student loans cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. We are talking about the ultimate nightmare.

Criminal Record Check

The above scenario is obviously not common, although it does happen more often than you might think. The reason is running background checks has become a fairly standard procedure these days. Just as it is recommended that you run a credit report on yourself before applying for a mortgage, it is now smart to run a California criminal records check every so often to make sure something hasn’t popped up on your criminal record, whether accurate or not.

Somebody important is going to run a background check on your sooner or later. Don’t you want to know what is on there before they see the information? If you have even a misdemeanor on your record, it could result in the person who ordered the check having a negative impression of you. That is never good since they are checking your records to see if they can trust you or not.

Finding out what is floating around about you in the databases of criminal records accessed in background checks isn’t difficult. We offer a free background check that will cover everything from California criminal records to issues raised in other states. If there is something negative listed, we will find it. Even better, it is important to know that most problems can be fixed as well. The key is to learn about the problem before someone else does.

Juvenile Conundrum

One area where we see people continuously have problems is with their juvenile records. For some reason, there is a belief in Tustin that your juvenile record is automatically sealed when you turn 18. This is simply not true. Your juvenile record is neither sealed nor swept clean. Instead, it becomes a part of your adult criminal record unless you take action to have it sealed or expunged. Few people do, and the results can be a disaster when a third party does a background check. If you stole a car when you were 14, do you really think a bank will hire you? Not a chance.
