The Law Center for Record Expungement in San Bernardino County

California Law Usually Allows You to Expunge Your San Bernardino County Conviction

We can expunge your San Bernardino County criminal 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 in San Bernardino County are not expunged automatically with the passage of time, but require the filing and granting of a Petition for relief in Court.

Both misdemeanor and felony convictions can usually be expunged. Once relief has been granted, you can honestly answer "no" to a question regarding criminal convictions in many circumstances.

Under certain circumstances, a felony 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";

• Sealing and destruction of arrest records;

• A finding that you were "factually innocent";

• Reduction of conviction status from felony to misdemeanor;

We have successfully expunged a large number of criminal records in LA County and San Bernardino County. 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.
