What Is Expungement in California?
Expungement is a legal process that dismisses a conviction from your criminal record, as outlined under California Penal Code §1203.4. Once a conviction is expunged, it is essentially dismissed in the eyes of the law, meaning you no longer have to disclose it to most employers or landlords.
While an expunged conviction will not completely erase it from your record, it provides significant relief and can open up new opportunities, significantly improving your employment, housing, and licensing prospects.
