Long Beach, Expungement of Domestic Violence Conviction - Lawyer Success # 4
Our client, a Navy veteran, had pled no contest to an allegation of violation of California Penal Code § 273.5, domestic violence. It was charged as a misdemeanor. The case was out of Torrance.
Our client came to us approximately one year after he had entered his plea, wanting to know if he could have the charge expunged because he had completed one year of summary probation, as well as having paid all fines and having completed all domestic violence classes. The reason he wanted expungement was because he was trying to get a new job and his being on probation was disqualifying.
We advised him that it was best if he made his motion for early termination of probation and expungement after he had completed half of his summary probation, so we met again in approximately five months and the client did.
Greg Hill prepared a motion for early termination of probation and a second motion for expungement of his record under Penal Code section 1203.4. The client provided numerous certificates and letters of recommendation that attested to his changed demeanor and new maturity over the last 18 months. Such letters were added to each motion as attachments.
The court granted both motions and our client indeed was hired by the employer he coveted. He was very happy.
