Diversion Record Sealing

California Law Usually Allows You to Seal Your 1000 PC or 'DEJ' Records

Many first offenders are granted 'Diversion' (1000 PC) or drug cases, or Deferred Entry of Judgment ('DEJ') in shoplifting or similar cases. Although a conviction does not occur, the RECORD of the Court proceeding still is available to the pubic and can appear on a background check.

Our skilled Attorneys can seal your criminal Diversion Records 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,  Diversion records are not sealed automatically with the passage of time, but require the filing and granting of a Petition for relief in Court.

Both misdemeanor and felony Records can usually be sealed.

We have successfully sealed a large number of Diversion 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 sealed, most can be; there are some limitations on the relief a sealing can grant in certain cases.
