Criminal Defense
Expungements
Record-clearing work designed to reopen opportunities and reduce future barriers.
A past conviction shouldn't define the rest of your life. California law allows many convictions to be dismissed, sealed, or reduced — reopening doors to employment, housing, and peace of mind.
House of Defense Law reviews your record, identifies every available form of relief, and handles the petitions from start to finish so you can move forward with a cleaner slate.
What This Can Involve
- Reviewing eligibility for dismissal under PC 1203.4
- Reducing eligible felonies to misdemeanors
- Sealing arrest records where permitted
- Restoring rights and improving background-check results
- Handling the entire petition and court process
