Expungements Attorney

What Is The Process of Expungement  and Clearing Your Criminal Record?

Expungement is the process of having any convictions or arrests removed from public records in order to clean up your record, thereby eliminating unwanted negative information that can impact your life.  Although an expungement will not remove the criminal history from law enforcement data bases, any public records would no longer show certain records if properly expunged. The Law Offices of Neal Gibbons and Associates  is a skilled criminal defense attorney in San Diego County who is knowledgeable in petitioning the court to have your records expunged.  There is certain criteria that must be met in order to qualify, so it is important for you to contact our office so that we may provide you with the proper legal advice regarding your specific situation.

When someone has met all probation criteria and obeyed all court orders, and has no new criminal offenses in the past ten years, they likely may qualify for an expungement.  Obtaining an expungement provides the individual with the opportunity to eliminate the negative effects of having certain convictions appear on their record, which can impact you in the following ways:

• Employment opportunities
• Educational possibilities
• Housing options
• Immigration status
• Loan applications
• Insurance rates
  

It is not until after a conviction does someone realize the long lasting effects that can remain years after you have served your time, met your probation or paid your fines.  A DUI/DWI on your record can severely affect your job opportunities in addition to increasing your insurance rates.  If you are an immigrant, a conviction of certain types of charges could risk your ability to remain legally in the country.  And most any type of conviction will make it difficult to obtain housing and jobs, when someone becomes aware of your record.
