Why You Should Seek Expungement in California
Expunging your criminal record is so much more than clearing your name; with background checks for employment and future biases on the line, it is a worthwhile endeavor. Seeking expungement can help you have a brighter future and ensure that past mistakes are left in the rearview.
The most common reasons to pursue expungement include:
- Employment opportunities. Most employers require a background check for all new applicants, which will reveal arrest records, convictions, and probation status. With an expungement, your criminal record will not appear in the background check. Additionally, after expungement, you can answer “no” to conviction questions on applications without legal consequences.
- Rental agreements. Just as employers run background checks, so do many landlords and apartment rental management companies. If you are seeking housing and are a potential applicant against someone without a criminal record, you may not be chosen for rental opportunities. Expungement helps to secure housing when you need it, avoiding denial of rental applications.
- Home, vehicle, and business loans. It is an unfortunate truth that some loan agencies will deny loan applications if the applicant has a criminal record, even if the applicant’s past mistakes are not financial in nature. Your ability to secure a loan will not be impacted if your criminal record is expunged.
- State licensing. Whether you are seeking a professional contractor’s license or going into the legal or medical field, you will need a state license for your business. If you are applying for a state license, you will be required to disclose convictions, but an expungement can help positively impact your case when determining your licensing status.
Unfortunately, not all criminal records are expungable. Eligibility for expungement will depend on the type of conviction (felony or misdemeanor), if the terms of your probation are fulfilled, the nature of your conviction, and if you served in a California state prison. If you are unsure of your own eligibility, contact our team to learn more.
