In Santa Barbara County I had a 2004 charge of battery, but it was dropped to a misdemeanor disturbing the peace. I was given community service, informal probation and restitution. I haven't been in any form of trouble since then. Can this be easily removed?

I did two days in county jail and 3 yrs probation in 2012 for misuse of identity. Misdemeanor. I just filed to have my case expunged in 2017 but for some they denied it. Why would that be?

I have a misdemeanor and I'm going to get it expunged. Is there always a hearing after the 4-6 weeks, and I just moved do I have to appear in the hearing or what do I do about that?

Why can't I find a job while being on informal probation and can I get my misdemeanor in commercial burglary expunged and get my record sealed?

I had wet reckless misdemeanor in CA and was later expunged this year. Will the arrest and conviction show up in employment background checks for non-driving jobs after the expungement? If the wet reckless is still showing up in my DMV record, then what's the point of the expungement as people can still see it through the DMV record?

Can my record be destroyed all together from FBI background checks if I had a misdemeanor with some probation violations?

I was just notified that Higbee has successfully expunged my last case! This is terrific news for me since the three cases I had been involved in 10.5 years ago have plagued me and my life since.

I would like to finally put in an application to volunteer at my daughter's charter school. Do the Live Scans conducted by schools display the same information as a live scan a person would pull on themself? If all of the information is in fact shown from my expunged cases, which are theft and drug-related, what do I say to the school? That I wasn't convicted? Because that doesn't sound probable in my situation.

I got my domestic violence misdemeanor expunged. It's been 7 years and I was wondering on a police application when it ask if I ever had a DV charge can I put no? Will it show when they do the background check? Also can I do anything else to get it more of my record?

I pleaded no contest to grand theft I. The amount of $265.000. I was sentenced to 8-16 months but was under AB109 so I did 8 months in the county jail. Is this eligible for expungement?

I have two misdemeanor convictions in California that I want to have expunged. I am currently living in Nevada. Would I have to be present at the court for the process of expungement?

If my conviction gets reduced to a misdemeanor and then dismissed/expunged, and assuming that the federal agencies update their records, will a background check from another country show anything? Meaning, could I be denied a visa for "criminal activity" even though the conviction is expunged? I'm wondering what kind of check other countries use, and if I would need to put if I was convicted of a crime on a visa form. Thank you!

If I was convicted of M273.5(a) on in 2005 for a domestic with "girlfriend" in a few months the 10 year ban is up according to my old probation terms which said it was pursuant to USC 922(1) however the max sentence was only up to a year in county jail not "exceeding" is this an error on their part? Will I still fall under fed ban if it was just a girlfriend? If so what can I do to get federal relief on the firearm disability? Thank you.

If a reduction to misdemeanor is granted for a felony DUI conviction does your DMV driving record get updated? Or does the felony conviction stay on your record for the 10 years?

If you do an expungement and get approved by the court, can you also do a CA record sealing for the same case?

Had a CA conviction in 1992 and received probation. Moved to another state and completed probation underthe Interstate Compact agreement. Following successful completion with no violations, petitioned CA court to have the conviction set aside and it was granted. I thought it was gone. A background check for employment did not show an arrest or conviction, but it the probation record from the 2nd state did show up. I was under the understanding that everything pertaining to that incident was to be removed. Can that out of state probation report be removed and can you do that?

My son was convicted of Health & Safety Code 11350(a), Possession of a Controlled Substance AND they tacked on possession of a firearm. I never understood how they could add on the firearm charge when he legally owned and registered the hunting rifle. While it was in the house it was not in his hands at the time of arrest.
We've been told that under Prop 47 his felony cannot be reduced due to the firearm charge, is this fact?

Only having three days limits your options because expungement typically takes at least 21 days, at the minimum and much longer in some counties. Assuming that you did not disclose the conviction when you were hired, your employer probably has the right to fire you. However, if you had the conviction expunged, your employer would not be able to terminate you as a result of the case (assuming that the employer is in California).

Set-aside refers to the plea of guilty, it is considered set-aside and replaced with a plea of not guilty. Dismissed refers to the statuts of the case, which is changed from a conviction to dismissed. The level of the class of the charge remains the same, unless it is reduced by a different motion, such as a Penal Code section 17(b). These terms are all put forth in the law that governs California expungement, Penal Code section 1203.4

What does dismissed and set aside really mean when it comes to expungements?
How can the case be dismissed and set aside but still be a felony?

Back in 6/4/04 I was convicted of a felony conspiracy to commit a crime. I was placed on formal probation for three years. After my time, the judge automatically dropped my felony to a misdemeanor, expunged and dismissed the conviction. Am I still able to be a police officer? I have been able to purchase a firearm so therfore I take it that I don't have a felony.

Can I become a police officer in California if I expunge my record? I have always wanted to become a sheriff, but for some reason I went the wrong way. I grew up in a rough neighborhood in Compton, California. I have not been in trouble in fours years and I need advice on getting a job as a police officer.

I'm ashamed to say that I have been convicted of a DUI with great bodily harm. I did my time in county jail, completed probation and all of the requirements including paying my restitution with no trouble. I was successful in having my felony expunged with the judge reducing the charge to a misdemeanor and then dismissing the misdemeanor. After waiting a few months I applied to the DOJ to see if my firearm rights had been restored. They replied with a denial. What can I do? Why did this happen? Is it possible to restore my rights to own a firearm?

The felony happened over 17 years ago.
