Clearing Your Criminal Record

Almost any professional job requires a California Professional license. If you have a San Diego arrest record or criminal record and are planning on applying for a professional license it is essential you consult an attorney before submitting your application. California law may allow for your arrest record to be sealed if it did not lead to a conviction and you can prove there was no reasonable basis to believe you committed the offense. California allows you to expunge some misdemeanor and felony convictions that did not result in a prison sentence.
