Arrest Record Sealing

San Diego Arrest Record Sealing Lawyer

After being arrested (but not convicted) for a crime, you may think your record is clear. However, the arrest will show on your criminal record even if you were never convicted of the crime. If charges were filed against you, the charges will also be visible on your record (even if they were dismissed). Having an arrest on your record can affect you in many negative ways. You might miss out on getting the perfect job or getting a much needed student loan.

Don’t let one past mistake affect your future. If you were arrested for a crime that you were not convicted of, you may be able to seal your criminal record. The arrest record sealing attorneys in San Diego at San Diego Expungement Attorney Group may be able to petition the arrest and charges (if applicable) on your behalf. If hired to represent you, we will immediately request that your arrest record be sealed and destroyed – permanently. When the request is granted, your record, which may include your fingerprints, booking photo, and arrest report, will be sealed and destroyed.

How Does it Work?

In the State of California, individuals must prove they were “factually innocent” of the crime they were arrested for. To succeed in a case of this nature, it must be proven that one of the elements of the crime did not exist. Needless to say, it can be very difficult to establish innocence without the assistance of an aggressive and skilled arrest record sealing lawyer in San Diego. The legal process can be complex and almost impossible to navigate without quality legal help.
