Is your criminal history stopping you from moving forward?
Are you are having a hard time finding employment because of your past? In California, you can petition the Court to dismiss your criminal record. Call the Law Office of Cole Williams today and ask about getting your record expunged.
What is an expungement?
Under California Penal Code §1203.4, those convicted of certain crimes (both felonies and misdemeanors) can petition the Court to dismiss your criminal record. If you have completed the terms of your probation, not been convicted of another crime, and your conviction is not specifically barred, you have the opportunity to have your record expunged.
What are the benefits?
Once a felony or misdemeanor conviction is expunged, most prospective employers cannot use it against you in hiring or even ask you about it in your interview.
An expungement can aid in the return of a professional license, assist in the admission to a professional organization, and even possibly alleviate immigration issues.
