Did you know that you may be eligible to receive an expungement of your misdemeanor charges in California, in a particular situation? You should never attempt to handle these complicated circumstances on your own. Which is why the support of a criminal defense attorney in Orange County is strongly recommended. I procedure known as expungement, outlined under California Penal code 12023.4, may allow you to have a misdemeanor conviction taken off of your California record.
Expungement is the official process in which you petition the court to reopen the criminal case, to get that conviction dismissed and then request the court to close the case. Getting a misdemeanor offense expunged from your record can be critical for allowing you to seek out important opportunities in your life such as education and future jobs. The charges and arrest will still exist, and it will not overturn any drivers license revocation that you got for a DUI offense.
Expunged convictions may also be classified sometimes as priors, to enhance sentencing and future charges. You need to schedule a consultation with an Orange County criminal defense attorney to figure out whether or not you will be able to pursue expungement options in your case. The sooner that you consult with a lawyer, the better you position you will be in.
