Hi, my name is Chris Morales, I'm a criminal defense attorney in San Francisco, California. I'm a board certified specialist in criminal law and today I want to talk about expungements.
An expungement is a mechanism or a petition to clean up a criminal record. So, if you or someone you know has suffered a conviction either a misdemeanor or a felony and if all the terms of the sentence have been completed satisfactorily in other words jail time has been done the fines have been paid and the term of probation, which is typically three years has been completed without any issues or problems then we can go back to court and petition for an expungement. An expungement does not erase the conviction, but it does soften the effects of the conviction and it really helps a lot if you are looking for a job or for immigration purposes is to have an expungement. It shows up in your criminal record basically as the case being dismissed and so it is always good to get an expungement if you have suffered a conviction.
