Ready to Put Your Criminal Record Behind You?
A past conviction doesn't always have to remain the final chapter. California offers opportunities to seek dismissal of certain criminal convictions, commonly called expungement. Whether you're pursuing employment, professional opportunities, or a fresh start, take the next step toward moving forward.
CALIFORNIA EXPUNGEMENT & RECORD SERVICES
Criminal Court Records & Certified Dispositions— Starting at $225
Need official documentation of a past criminal case? Court records and certified dispositions may be requested for employment, professional licensing, immigration matters, or personal records.
We assist with requesting criminal court records, case dispositions, and certified copies, helping you obtain the documentation needed for your next step.
Conviction Dismissal (Expungement) — Starting at $495
A criminal conviction can continue to affect your opportunities long after your case is closed. California allows certain misdemeanor convictions to be dismissed through a process commonly known as expungement.
Whether you're pursuing a new job, professional licensing, or a fresh start, we prepare conviction dismissal petitions and supporting documents for filing with the court. Certain felony conviction dismissal requests may also be accommodated on an individual basis.
Arrest Record Sealing — Starting at $595
An arrest that never resulted in a conviction may still appear in certain records. California provides a process to request sealing of qualifying arrest records, which can help limit public access to information about a past arrest.
We prepare arrest record sealing petitions and related court documents for individuals seeking to address an arrest that did not result in a conviction.
Older convictions may qualify for dismissal under California law. The type of conviction, sentence, and case history can affect which procedure applies.
Not completely. In California, expungement generally refers to a court dismissal of a qualifying conviction, rather than erasing the record. If granted, the dismissal becomes part of your criminal history and may provide meaningful benefits when seeking employment and other opportunities. However, the record may still be accessible, and disclosure may still be required in certain situations, including some government positions and professional licensing applications.
Yes. California law provides opportunities to request dismissal of certain misdemeanor and felony convictions, including cases involving multiple convictions. Each case is considered individually, and different procedures may apply depending on the conviction and sentence. Court & Beyond can assist with preparing dismissal petitions and supporting court documents, including requests involving multiple cases.
That's okay. You don't need to have every document in hand to get started. Court & Beyond can assist with locating criminal case information and requesting court records, including certified dispositions. Whether you're gathering records for expungement, employment, professional licensing, or personal purposes, we can help you obtain the documentation needed to take your next step.
Our conviction dismissal services start at $495, with pricing based on the number of cases and the documents needed. Court & Beyond provides professional petition preparation, including supporting court documents when applicable, so you can move forward with confidence. You'll know your preparation cost before work begins, with any court or third-party fees explained separately. While the court makes the final decision, we're here to help you take an important step toward a fresh start.
