Specialized legal expertise
in California felony expungement.

Expungement in California refers to a legal process that allows individuals to petition the court to dismiss certain convictions from their criminal record. If granted, the conviction is set aside and the case is dismissed, which can improve employment, housing, and licensing opportunities. However, it does not erase the record entirely or restore all rights, such as firearm ownership.

Eligibility depends on several factors including the nature of the offense, whether you completed your probation, and if you have any pending criminal charges. Generally, you are eligible if you were convicted of a misdemeanor or certain felonies, completed all sentence requirements, and are not currently charged with or serving time for another offense.

Certain serious crimes are not eligible for expungement under California law. These include most sex offenses involving children, specific violent felonies, and crimes that resulted in a prison sentence (as opposed to jail time). A legal review of your record is necessary to determine eligibility.

The process typically takes anywhere from 2 to 6 months, depending on the court's schedule and the complexity of your case. In most cases, costs vary depending on whether you hire an attorney, the number of convictions you wish to expunge, and the filing fees involved.At Redemption, we charge a fixed amount/fee of $990 including free consultations to help your clear your record without breaking the bank.
