SEALING OF JUVENILE RECORDS

LET OUR CALIFORNIA CRIMINAL DEFENSE EXPUNGEMENT ATTORNEYS ASSIST YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN SEALING JUVENILE CRIMINAL RECORDS

In cases of juvenile records, there are two record clearance options available in California.

In cases where the juvenile was not sent to the California Youth Authority, our California expungement attorneys can seal the record of conviction, if it is not for a crime listed in Welfare and Institution Code Section 707(b).

If the juvenile was sent to the California Youth Authority and was later honorably discharged, we can then have a California Expungement lawyer petition to have the verdict of guilty set aside, thereby releasing the juvenile from the penalties and disabilities of the conviction in California.

SEALING OF JUVENILE RECORDS

If, as a juvenile, you were convicted but were not sent to the California Youth Authority, our California Expungement attorney's can petition the court to seal and destroy the records of your criminal records including your records of arrest relating to your case that are in the custody of the juvenile court, the probation officer, and any other agency in California, including law enforcement agencies and public officials in California.

If you are required to register as a sex offender, sealing of the records will relieve you from registration.

In order to qualify for sealing of your juvenile records, you must not have been convicted of another felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude in California since your conviction and your conviction was not for any of the crimes listed in Welfare and Institution Code Section 707(b).

If our California Criminal Defense Expungement attorneys are able to get your records sealed, the proceedings in your case shall be deemed never to have occurred and you can deny ever having had the conviction on your records, which will, obviously help for future employment purposes.

RECORD CLEARANCE OF CASES OF COMMITMENT TO THE CALIFORNIA YOUTH AUTHORITY

In California, if you were convicted as a juvenile and honorably discharged by the California Youth Authority, you may petition the court to set aside the verdict of guilty in your case and have the case dismissed.

If our California Criminal Defense Expungement attorneys are able to get this granted, this will release you from all penalties and disabilities resulting from the conviction, including but not limited to any disqualification for employment or occupational license.
