Shoplifting Record Expungement

We can expunge your Shoplifting (484 488 PC) conviction by withdrawing your plea and having the case dismissed, under most circumstances. The law is somewhat complex in certain areas, but expungement is something that SHOULD be done by everyone with even a minor record.

Contrary to popular belief, records are not expunged automatically with the passage of time, but require the filing and granting of a Petition for relief in Court.

Once relief has been granted, you can honestly answer "no" to a question regarding criminal convictions in many circumstances.

Under certain circumstances, a felony theft conviction can be reduced to a misdemeanor.

Depending upon the facts of your case, successful petitions may result in:

• The withdrawal of a plea and dismissal of the case;

• Sealing and destruction of a juvenile record;

• Having an arrest changed to a "detention only"; 

• Reduction of conviction status from felony to misdemeanor;

We have successfully expunged a large number of shoplift criminal records. The procedure can take from 6 weeks to several months, depending upon the Court, the complexity of the case, and how old the conviction is.

Fees are reasonable, and include the petitions, court appearances, filing fees and research.

Please be aware that while all cases cannot be expunged, most can be; there are some limitations on the relief an expungement can grant in certain cases.
