California law currently provides a special procedure for expunging criminal convictions if particular criteria have been satisfied. What actually occurs is that your plea of guilty (or no contest) or the verdict of guilt is withdrawn, a plea of not guilty is entered in its place, and the Court then dismisses your case. The record of your conviction is marked as "DISMISSED," "dismissed in the furtherance of justice" or "dismissed pursuant to PC 1203.4 (or 1203.4a)." What an Expungement Does: > You can answer "No" on a job application if a private employer asks you if you've ever been convicted of a crime. (See below for certain government employers). > An Expungement can help you with some job licenses and certificates. (Contact the specific licensing body to determine whether an expungement will help). > An Expungement can help you with housing and loan applications. > If you are ineligible for federal student loans because of drug convictions, you will have your eligibility restored. What an Expungement Does Not Do: > If you are charged with another crime in the future, the expunged conviction can still be used as a prior conviction to increase your sentence. If the expunged conviction was a "strike," it will still count as a strike. > Expunging your conviction will not restore your ability to possess a firearm. > If you have to register as a sex offender, you will still have to register even after the conviction is expunged. > Some government and professional licensing agencies do not recognize expungements when determining whether to grant or deny a license. An expungement will never hurt your situation and will often help, but you should contact the specific licensing organization to determine whether an expungement will help your particular situation. > If applying for public (i.e., government) employment, or a contract with the state lottery, you must still admit the expunged conviction if asked whether you have ever been convicted, but you can (and should) note that it has been expunged. > If your driver's license has been suspended, expungement of the conviction will not affect your license; it will still be suspended. This agreement is executed in duplicate, the receipt of a copy of which is hereby acknowledged by the undersigned. By retaining Attorney, Client attests that he or she has read all of the above, understands it, and agrees to it. LAW FIRM OF RICHARD GLEN BOIRE http://www.convictionfree.com 216 F.
