Expungement in Mission Viejo, CA is the process of filing a legal petition, or motion, with the court under California Penal Code 1203.4 requesting to have the Judge re-open the case, to set aside the conviction and to dismiss the case. If the expungement petition is granted, you will no longer be considered convicted of the crime by the state of California, and your permanent criminal record will be updated to display a dismissal rather than a criminal conviction.
Laguna Legal charges $950 to file a Petition for Relief under Penal Code 1203.4. If a hearing is required at the request of the court (this usually isn’t necessary) then there will be an additional charge of $950 to prepare all necessary documents for the hearing. In most cases an expungement can be fully completed for just one payment of $950
