Having a criminal record can negatively impact your ability to secure employment and housing. By expunging your record, it will be clear when a potential employer, licensing agency or other organization performs a background check.

How do you know if you are eligible for an expungement in California? Some individuals are eligible, while others are not.

You may be eligible to have your criminal records expunged if:

a) you completed probation successfully, and

b) currently, you are not on probation for a criminal offense, serving a sentence or charged with a criminal offense.

"Successfully completing probation" requires that you have completed all of the terms, attended all court appearances that were required (you or your attorney must have attended), and committed no additional crimes while you were on probation.

You will not be eligible for expungement in California if:

a) you were sent to state prison,

b) you were convicted of a serious criminal offense against children, such as Penal Code 286(c) sodomy with a child, Penal Code 288 lewd acts with a child, Penal Code 288a(c) oral copulation with a child, or, Penal Code 261.5(d) statutory rape.

While there are countless benefits to having your record expunged, there are limitations as well. Even if your Riverside expungement attorney is successful in having your criminal record expunged, you will not have your driving privileges reinstated if they have been revoked or suspended. Additionally, your gun rights will not be restored if they have been taken away, and you will still be required to register as a sex offender if you have been convicted of a sex crime.

Applying for an expungement

Generally, individuals may apply for an expungement as soon as eligibility requirements are met, such as when you have completed probation or when early termination of probation is granted.

Frequently, Riverside expungement attorneys will package a number of motions in to one, thereby expediting the process. He/she may request that the court:

Reduce a felony charge to a misdemeanor,
grant an early termination of probation,
expunge your conviction
