Criminal Record Expungement in Los Angeles
Expungement Law Can Be Confusing--So Call In the Pros
Once you have served your sentence for any criminal conviction, you are going to want to do all you can to have the arrest and conviction expunged from your record. However, this process can take a long time, and require jumping through some legal hoops. Depending on the severity of a crime, you may have to bring your case to several institutions.
For the most part, criminal records are matters of record. Every state has its own set of expungement laws, including the extent to which convicted felons are allowed to participate in juries and elections.
Types of Crimes on Your Record:
Felonies and Serious Misdemeanors are kept in a Federal database for reference.
Lesser crimes are kept on file by city and state governments, but stay on your record.
Arrests, charges, and convictions are all kept on file--so even an arrest without conviction appears on your background check.
