📞 Call or Text + (714) 248 - 3626The expungement process in California is straightforward when you have the right attorney guiding you. Here is exactly what the process looks like from your first call to a cleared record.
You call or submit your information and speak directly with Attorney Doan. He reviews your conviction, your sentence, and your current status to determine immediately whether you qualify for expungement under California law. No pressure, no sales pitch, just answers.
Attorney Doan explains exactly what an expungement means for your record, your employment, your professional licenses, and your future. He also identifies whether you qualify for additional relief such as record sealing, certificate of rehabilitation, or a governor's pardon.
Attorney Doan prepares and files your expungement petition with the court. He handles all paperwork, court filings, and procedural requirements so you do not have to navigate the process alone.
In some cases a court hearing is required for expungement. Attorney Doan represents you personally at any hearing and presents the strongest possible case for why your record should be cleared.
Once your expungement is granted, your conviction is dismissed under California Penal Code 1203.4. You can legally state on most job applications that you have not been convicted of that offense. Attorney Doan walks you through exactly what your cleared record means for your life going forward.
California offers several forms of relief for people with criminal records. The right option depends on your conviction, your sentence, and your current situation. Attorney Doan identifies the best path forward for your specific case.
California Penal Code 1203.4 allows most misdemeanor and felony convictions to be dismissed after probation is completed. An expungement does not completely erase your record but it changes your conviction to a dismissal which can significantly improve your employment prospects and allow you to legally state on most job applications that you have not been convicted of that offense.
Some felony convictions in California can be reduced to misdemeanors under Penal Code 17(b). This applies to wobbler offenses that were charged as felonies but could have been charged as misdemeanors. Reducing a felony to a misdemeanor can restore certain rights and significantly improve employment and licensing prospects.
A certificate of rehabilitation is a court order declaring that you have been rehabilitated following a felony conviction. It is stronger than an expungement and serves as an automatic application for a governor's pardon. It can help restore professional licenses and improve employment prospects for people with serious felony convictions.
Juvenile records in California can be sealed under Welfare and Institutions Code 781, making them inaccessible to the public and most employers. A sealed juvenile record allows you to legally state that you were not arrested or adjudicated as a juvenile. This can have a significant positive impact on employment, education, and professional licensing opportunities.

Every case is different. Attorney Doan identifies the best path forward based on your specific conviction, sentence, and situation.
Not every conviction qualifies for expungement and the rules are different for misdemeanors, felonies, and specific offense types. Attorney Doan reviews your full record immediately and tells you exactly what you qualify for before you commit to anything.
If your felony conviction was a wobbler offense, Attorney Doan files a petition to reduce it to a misdemeanor under PC 17(b) before pursuing expungement. This two step process maximizes the relief available to you and can restore rights that a standard expungement alone would not.
If you are still on probation, you may not qualify for expungement yet. Attorney Doan can petition the court for early termination of probation so you can pursue expungement sooner. This is especially valuable for people who have completed all probation requirements and are ready to move forward.
A criminal record can affect professional licenses in fields like healthcare, law, real estate, and finance. Attorney Doan works to clear your record in a way that gives you the best possible chance of restoring or maintaining your professional license and advancing your career.
A DUI conviction on your record can affect your employment, your insurance rates, and your professional reputation long after you have completed your sentence. Attorney Doan handles DUI expungements regularly and can help you determine if your conviction qualifies and what the process looks like for your specific case.
Once your record is cleared, Attorney Doan explains exactly what your expungement means for your life including what you can legally say on job applications, what shows up on background checks, and what rights have been restored. You leave with a clear understanding of where you stand.
Most people who have completed probation for a misdemeanor or felony conviction qualify for expungement under California Penal Code 1203.4. You generally do not qualify if you served time in state prison, are currently on probation, have pending criminal charges, or were convicted of certain serious offenses. The best way to find out is to call Attorney Doan. He will review your record and tell you immediately what relief is available to you.

Most expungements in Orange County take between 3 and 4 months from the time the petition is filed to the court granting the dismissal. The timeline depends on the court's schedule and whether a hearing is required. Attorney Doan handles all filings and follows up with the court to move your case forward as efficiently as possible.
It depends on the type of background check. A standard employment background check will typically show the conviction as dismissed rather than a conviction. However certain government agencies, law enforcement employers, and professional licensing boards may still be able to see the original conviction. Attorney Doan explains exactly what will and will not show up on background checks based on your specific situation.
You speak directly with Attorney Doan, not a receptionist or associate. He reviews your record, tells you immediately whether you qualify, and explains all available options. If you decide to move forward he sends you a retainer agreement to review and sign and handles the entire process personally from there. No associates, no hand-offs, no surprises.
