Expungement of Burbank Criminal Cases
Expungements in Burbank have become increasingly important during the last year, because of significant benefits related to disclosure requirements to potential employers. If a person has been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony, he or she is typically required to disclose this fact to a potential employer in a job application. However, if the conviction has been expunged, generally, the disclosure requirement is eliminated, subject to a few exceptions. Thus, it is increasingly important that a person searching for a job who has been convicted of a crime explore all possible options to expunge their criminal case. It is important for a person with a Burbank conviction to contact a Burbank Expungement Attorney.
Penal Code section 1203.4 is the controlling section which dictates whether a person is eligible to have a case expunged. A new statute for 2011 now allows many infraction convictions to be considered for expungement, as well.
Judges appear to be increasingly concerned about the high level of unemployment in California, Los Angeles County, as well as Burbank. If a person applying for an expungement has a job possibility on the horizon, this may be a significant factor in a judge's decision of whether to grant the motion.
It is strongly recommended that anyone considering an expungement of their case seek legal advice on their available options, from an Expungement Attorney.
