Kings Canyon National Pk, CA Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

You need to consult with an attorney in person or on the phone in order for him/her to figure out what the best course of action is on your matters. I can help you if your matter is in Washington State. Contact me. It depends on whether we are talking about a district court warrant or a superior court warrant? What type of case and the status of the case. Again if this is a Washington State matter I can help.

You cannot seal an adult record unless you are found factually innocent. Obviously, by pleading and completing probation, you don't have that avenue available to you. Your "expungement" (technically, a dismissal pursuant to Penal Code 1203.4) is about the best you can do. When that was granted, it was a withdrawal of your plea and a dismissal of charges. Under the California Labor Code, employers are not allowed to ask about or consider arrests that do not lead to a conviction or diversion programs. There are exceptions when it comes to professional licenses. If you are seeking a professional license (such as a CPA), you may be required to disclose the conviction. Failure to disclose if required could lead to your application being denied for failing to disclose the case. For further clarification, you may want to sit down with your records and consult a criminal defense attorney or an attorney that specifically handles licensing cases.

Remember that you need to report any official police contact to your probation officer within 24 hours or else you run the risk of getting violated. Also, no one ever has to talk to the police and that can never be held against you. You should not talk to the police until you have consulted with an attorney first.
