Having a criminal record in California can significantly impact nearly every aspect of your life, even long after your case is resolved. Employers often conduct background checks, and a conviction can limit job opportunities, particularly in licensed professions, healthcare, education, or government work. A record may also affect your ability to secure housing, as many landlords screen for criminal history. In some cases, it can impact immigration status or lead to deportation for non-citizens. Additionally, certain convictions can result in the loss of gun rights, voting eligibility (while on parole), or professional licenses. For many, these long-term consequences make record clearance or expungement a critical step toward moving forward with a clean slate.
Criminal record expungement in California allows eligible individuals to clear certain convictions from their record, helping them move forward without the burden of a past mistake. Once expunged, the conviction is dismissed, which can improve job prospects, housing opportunities, and overall peace of mind. With our expungement and sealing services you can get on with your life without the past holding you back.
