Expungement in Ventura County

Our Lawyers can expunge your criminal conviction in Ventura County by withdrawing your plea and having the case dismissed, under most circumstances. The law is somewhat complex in certain areas, but expungement is something that SHOULD be done by everyone with even a minor record.

Contrary to popular belief, records are not expunged automatically with the passage of time, but require the filing and granting of a Petition for relief in Court.

Both misdemeanor and felony convictions can usually be expunged. Once relief has been granted, you can honestly answer "no" to a question regarding criminal convictions in many circumstances.

Under certain circumstances, a felony conviction can be reduced to a misdemeanor.

Depending upon the facts of your case, successful petitions may result in:

• The withdrawal of a plea and dismissal of the case;

• Early Termination of Probation

• Having an arrest changed to a "detention only";

• Sealing and destruction of a juvenile record;

• Reduction of conviction status from felony to misdemeanor;

• Sealing of 1000 PC -Diversion Records

We have successfully expunged a large number of criminal records in Ventura County. The procedure can take from 6 weeks to several months, depending upon the Court, the complexity of the case, and how old the conviction is.

Fees are reasonable, and include the petitions, court appearances, filing fees and research.
