Re: work release violation in CA

More | Report Post

Dear Lena,

Most California criminal convictions including most misdemeanors and
some felony cases can be cleared from your criminal record.
Depending on the type of conviction, you may ask the court to remove
a conviction off your record.

To qualify for a possible California Expungement:

* have finished your probation,
* followed all court orders, and
* no new charges against you. (PC 1203.4)
However, you can contact a Attorney near you to file it for you etc.

Thanks
