Calling all Attorneys!
In California I have 2 items I would like to have expunged from my record which show up when I apply for a job and they run my finger prints.
#1 Petty Theft from 1988 (shoplifting, couple rolls of 35mm camera film) convicted, time served, 1 day in county jail then released. I was 18 years old then now 39 yrs. old).
#2 In 1991, originally charged for a DUI, I retained the services of a lawyer and was reduced to Exhibition of Speed, got 3 years of probation, cleared with no problems.
Brief case description: I was returning from a birthday happy hour party with a couple of brinks in me (not drunk or anything like that) and was driving on freeway with friend following me and she got into a car accident a few feet behind me, I then stopped to help out, no injuries, but her car was totaled. I then waited for her to clear-up situation with CHP and then a CHP Officer approached me and did a sobriety test and noticed I had been drinking, he then took me to the local jail and they kept me their till the next morning and let me go.
How difficult and what are pro possibilities of getting these 2 items expunged? Since the last item, I have not had anymore problems with the police, besides a couple of speeding tickets several years apart, but I guess those don't count because they don't appear on your criminal record, only on your driving record if you don't go to traffic school, which I did do.
I plan to retain the services of an attorney to have these 2 items possibly removed.
Any comments, suggestions or advised will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all. :-)
