Expungements

As a Prosecutor, Attorney Michael J. Holmes successfully opposed countless Expungement Cases. Now, he is a Southern California Criminal Defense Attorney who successfully defends them.

An expungement can clear legal convictions from a person's criminal record. After a certain amount of time, a person has the right to file a petition to have their misdemeanor or felony removed from their criminal record.

In order for an expungement to happen, a legal petition must be filed with the court where the person's conviction took place. This legal action is a request to have the conviction removed or cleared from the person's criminal record. This process usually clears minor convictions and misdemeanors, and involves a very short turn around (approximately 2-4 weeks) in California.
