How do I get rid of a misdemeanor for petty theft off of my record

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Joseph Briscoe Dane (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Joe Dane
If this is an open case, you need a lawyer. Yes, theft of under $50 can be an infraction, but theft of anything from a penny up to $950 can be the misdemeanor. Your lawyer may be able to work out a diversion, alternate to conviction or reduction, depending on the facts. If you're asking how to change a conviction that you already have, you can seek an "expungement" (aka a dismissal under 1203.4). It won't take it off your record at all, but put a notation that it was later dismissed. Again - something to talk to your lawyer about.

How can I get a felony exungement?

Answered by attorney Lawrence Thomas Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
Tell the truth. You did the work, cashed the check and for some reason pled guilty to a felony. Why would anyone plead guilty to a felony when they did nothing wrong? Why would anyone plead guilty without the assistance of an attorney. You cannot get the felony expunged. See my website.

How can a diversion program prevent a marijuana infraction from affecting my record and getting my license suspended?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
You generally don't get to talk to the judge unless and until you plead guilty to the charges. You must go to your arraignment, plead not guilty, set a Pre-Trial hearing date at which hearing you can try to negotiate with the DA for a diversion program. You are always entitled to represent yourself in court. Whether you should is a different issue. The conventional wisdom is that an attorney will be able to do a better job and get a better outcome. Prosecutors and judges don't like dealing with ProPers, unless you are simply pleading guilty, not defending the case.
