Felony Expungements

Felony Expungement Attorneys in California

At Compass Law Center, LLP, we provide experienced and strategic legal representation for individuals seeking to expunge felony convictions in California. A felony on your record can have serious consequences, limiting your ability to secure employment, housing, educational opportunities, professional licenses, and financial aid. Expungement offers a powerful tool to reduce those burdens and reclaim your future.

Under California Penal Code §1203.4, eligible individuals may petition the court to reopen their case, withdraw a plea of guilty or no contest, enter a plea of not guilty, and have the case dismissed. Once granted, the conviction is no longer considered a conviction under state law and your record will reflect a dismissal.

Benefits of Felony Expungement

Improves job and housing eligibility
Reduces stigma during background checks
Restores eligibility for certain professional licenses
Allows for peace of mind and a clean legal status under California law

Eligibility Requirements for Felony Expungement

You were convicted in California state court (not federal court)
Your sentence did not involve state prison time (county jail is allowed)
You successfully completed probation
All terms of the sentence have been fulfilled (fines, restitution, classes, etc.)
You are not currently facing charges, on probation, or serving a sentence for another offense

If you served time in state prison, you may still be eligible for a Certificate of Rehabilitation or other forms of post-conviction relief. If you are still on probation, ask us about early termination of probation services before proceeding with expungement.

With employers, landlords, and government agencies conducting more detailed background checks than ever before, expunging your felony conviction is an essential step toward rebuilding your life. At Compass Law Center, LLP, we will carefully evaluate your record, explain your options, and pursue the most favorable result for your circumstances.
