What does expungement mean, and am I eligible?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Gabriel Eric Dorman (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Gabriel Dorman
If you were sent to California state prison either at the time of sentencing (judgment) or because of a probation violation, you do NOT qualify for an expungement. In your case, given that you were sent to prison, you would not qualify for an expungement. Expungement pursuant to Penal Code Section 1203.4 requires that you "a defendant has fulfilled the conditions of probation for the entire period of probation, or has been discharged prior to the termination of the period of probation." I hope this answer was helpful. Good luck.

How do I clear a bench warrant in a different state?

Answered by attorney Jay A. Rigdon
Criminal Law lawyer at Rockhill Pinnick LLP
You probably won't be able to. If you can at all, it would require you hiring an attorney in Laporte County to help you do it.

Is it illegal to say inappropriate things to a minor via facebook?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James E Gandy (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of James Gandy
It is unclear exactly what you mean by 'inappropriate' but this could easily be criminal. You should seek out an attorney in your area and probably stop talking to the police.
