Torrance Expungment Attorney Success #1
Our client was arrested and charged with a felony violation of California Penal Code Section 261.5(c), Unlawful Sexual Intercourse with a Minor. At the time of the incident our client was 22 years old, and the "victim" was our client's 17 year old girlfriend.
Our client was granted formal probation for five years and ordered to serve 10 days in custody with credit of 10 days, pay restitution in the amount of $200, and to complete a residential program.
Nearly four years later, our client was struggling to find a decent job that would pay him reasonable wages because of his status being on probation and his criminal record. He was forced to accept jobs doing menial duties for restaurants. Our client tried to look for other work but was turned down even though it was stated he was highly qualified. In several instances, the employers candidly told him that his criminal record prevented employment.
Our client successfully completed the terms and conditions of his probation. This made him eligible to petition the court for a reduction of the felony charge to a misdemeanor and, then, once the charge was reduced, expungment.
Greg Hill & Associates, accordingly, petitioned the court to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor and thereafter, set aside the plea of guilty and have the information dismissed. Our petition was granted and the court dismissed the information, allowing our client to move on with his life and apply for a position where his outstanding work ethic could be appreciated.
