Your Source for Legal Information ExpertLaw ExpertLaw Library Criminal Law Obtaining or Expunging a Criminal Record By Aaron Larson Law Offices of Aaron Larson August, 2003 Contents Obtaining a Criminal Record Expunging a Criminal Record Obtaining a Pardon Notice : Please note that if you have been charged with a criminal offense, you will likely benefit from consulting a criminal defense lawyer. You may find this article on " How To Hire A Criminal Defense Lawyer " to be helpful. Obtaining a Criminal Record If you are trying to learn the criminal history of an individual, there are a number of available options. If you are concerned that the individual may be a sex offender, you may look them up in the public registry required under " Megan's Law ". If you are trying to check to see if somebody is incarcerated, many state departments of corrections now have "inmate lookup" features on their websites. (Note that a state department of corrections search will not include people incarcerated in a county jail, nor would they reveal federal convictions.) Some states will list all persons who have been incarcerated with, or placed under the supervision of, the state department of corrections, enabling you to find out at least of an individual has committed a crime of sufficient gravity to be placed in prison or on parole. If you require a person's full criminal history, you may have to check with several locations. First, if you want to be sure you find every conviction, you should submit a request for a criminal record with every jurisdiction where the person has lived as an adult. Second, you should request records from both the state or province and federal authorities. Third, you will need to be sure that you follow the proper procedure for obtaining a criminal record in the state at issue, and pay any required fee. Your request should be as specific as possible about the person, including if available the person's legal name, prior names or known aliases, Social Security number, race, date of birth, and present and past street addresses. Particularly where a person may have a criminal record in more than one jurisdiction, many people will find it less burdensome to have a

Kavinoky Felony convictions where a term in state prison is imposed require professional attention by a lawyer skilled in expungements . There are two ways that someone sentenced to state prison can obtain relief: the Certificate of Rehabilitation and Pardon, and the Direct Application for Pardon. A full pardon, whether direct or through rehabilitation proceedings, restores all of the rights and privileges of which the person was deprived by reason of the conviction, with some exceptions. In addition, a pardon relieves a sex offender of the duty to register under Penal Code Section 290. A pardon does not automatically restore any license, permit, or certificate that had been taken as the result of the conviction.

CERTIFICATE OF RELIEF FROM DISABILITIES Introduction A certificate of relief from civil disabilities (CRD) is a means of avoiding various collateral consequences of conviction. It may be obtained from the sentencing court [i] or from the Board of Parole. [ii] Eligibility If a defendant is not eligible to apply for a court-granted CRD, relief may be available by a CRD from the Parole Board. The Parole Board also has the authority to issue a certificate of good conduct (CGC) that will avoid various collateral consequences arising from conviction in New York and other jurisdictions. [iii] Relief A CRD is designed to ameliorate various mandatory forfeitures, disabilities and bars to employment resulting from a conviction. The term "forfeiture" refers to the loss of present rights. In contrast, the terms "disabilities" and "bars to employment" refer to impediments to future rights. These rights primarily concern employment and licensing.

Perhaps it seems bold to proclaim myself an expert in the field of criminal rehabilitation, but I have credentials the big shots can't claim to have. As a zealous catechumen in 1988, at the insistent urging of our chaplain, I began teaching the catechism to any prisoner who would remain still long enough to listen. Since then I've taught the Catholic faith to over two hundred prisoners, and I have been privileged to be used by the Holy Spirit as an instrument to aid the conversion of nearly a hundred of them.

40. Expungements, Certificates Of Rehabilitation And Pardons Case Results certificate of Rehabilitation and pardons cases defended by Attorney Will I was convicted of Penal Code Section 314 in three different criminal http://www.bruzzolaw.com/case-results/expungement.html

EXPUNGEMENT/CERTIFICATE OF REHABILITATION/PARDON (California Penal Code Section 4852.01 and sequential) Testimonials I was convicted of Penal Code Section 314 in three different criminal cases concerning indecent and lewd acts between 16 and 20 years ago; because of the nature of the charges I was required to register as a sex offender pursuant to Penal Code Section 290. I live in fear that others will discover that I am a registrant and that this will effect my family and my ability to work. As such, I hired Attorney William W. Bruzzo to represent me in an effort to clean up my record. Mr. Bruzzo is very experienced in these matters and he informed me that the first step toward cleaning my record is an Expungment , followed by a Certificate of Rehabilitation . He told me that once a Certificate of Rehabilitation is granted that this constitutes an automatic application for a Pardon from the Governor. Once a pardon is granted then I am relieved of my obligation to register and that is the most I can do to clear my record. Mr. Bruzzo then proceeded to prepare my case by getting a psychological evaluation of me, letters of recommendation and other evidence of rehabilitation. He then filed formal motions with the court and the District Attorney; in the end the motions were GRANTED by the court AS TO ALL THREE CASES . The granting of these motions is the final step prior to a full pardon. I truly benefited from the legal knowledge and experience of Mr. Bruzzo and I would recommend him for any criminal matter.
