What’s the Expungement Process Like?
First, a proper petition for expungement must be submitted to the Office of the District Attorney. This petition must include certain language and information and must be accompanied with a filing fee. Grover Law has extensive experience in filing the proper petition for expungement and the filing fee.
The District Attorney’s office will review your petition, which can take several months. Once this petition is reviewed, you will be notified if the DA’s office agrees that you deserve an expungement.
If the DA’s office does not agree that an expungement is appropriate in your case, you can request a hearing in front of the Judge. At this hearing, it’s important to be prepared to answer questions from the presiding Judge, as well as to show the Judge why you deserve an expungement.
