San Diego Expungement Lawyer
Domestic Violence Expungement in San Diego County
If you have previously been convicted of domestic violence, you may be able to clear your criminal record with the help of a San Diego expungement lawyer. Under California law, you are granted the right to essentially remove or erase a domestic violence conviction from your criminal record. In doing so, you can legally deny your criminal record in almost any situation and can finally achieve the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have a clean slate.
An attorney can review your case to determine whether you may qualify for expungement, but we have also included some basic information about this process in order to help you gain a better understanding of what to expect. In California, if you have finished your probation and are not facing any current criminal charges, you may qualify to have your domestic violence conviction cleared from your criminal record. However, this typically only applies if you were not sentenced to state prison (as opposed to county jail) and can be more complex if you were convicted of a felony domestic violence offense. If you were not placed on probation, you may be able to file for expungement one year after the completion of your jail sentence.
After a successful domestic violence expungement, you may be able to:
- Deny your criminal record on employment applications
- Become eligible for student loans or particular housing opportunities
- Become eligible for certain professional licenses
