Aside from guiding and defending clients in some of the most complex criminal cases/trials in Van Nuys and throughout California (murder, sex crimes, etc.) we also focus on more simple things like expungements to make peoples’ lives better and give them the best opportunities in the future. Essentially, something that happened many years ago shouldn’t still haunt you today, and we’re here to help you fix that.
Based on our 20 years of experience in the Van Nuys courts and handling a wide variety of expungements recently we have a deep understanding of how to approach these cases/petitions to get the best outcomes in the end, and below are some of the common questions we’ve been getting recently:
How long does it take to get a criminal case expunged?
When looking to get a criminal case expunged in Van Nuys or anywhere else in the Los Angeles County court system (CCB, etc.) you should expect 30-60 days from when your attorney files the petition to when you hear back from the courts. And that doesn’t necessarily mean the case will be expunged; only getting feedback from the courts. However, with our experience we’ve seen a high success rate here.
What does it cost to get a criminal case expunged in Van Nuys?
The costs for getting criminal cases expunged in Van Nuys depends on a wide variety of factors, including the charges themselves along with other elements, though in general we charge between $1,000 to $2,500 to get most cases expunged in the Van Nuys courthouse.
Can all Van Nuys criminal charges be expunged?
For the most part, criminal charges can be expunged in Van Nuys or throughout California, though the determining factor is what exactly are the charges and your behaviors since. If you were on probation and didn’t follow the terms and/or caught new charges that alone makes it much more complicated to get previous charges expunged.
How to find the best Van Nuys expungements attorney?
Aside from everything covered above, there’s something to be said about being recognized as top trial attorneys for some of the most complex criminal cases then winning in the end compared to filing relatively simple petitions for expunging criminal records. And would you rather put your life in someone’s hands that’s at the top of their game/industry or an attorney that’s trying to figure stuff out as they go?
