A new law will take effect on January 1, 2011 that will grant individuals the opportunity to expunge their record for certain infractions. Although an infraction is a less serious crime than a misdemeanor, it is a blemish on your criminal record that may have a negative effect on your educational or employment opportunities. The new law provides a chance for defendants convicted of any infraction (except motor vehicle infractions) to seek to have the charge dismissed and for the accused to be released from all penalties and disabilities resulting from their offense.

If you were previously convicted for an infraction, you may be eligible under Penal Code § 1203.4a to file a petition to have your record expunged. If you or a loved one is in need of cleaning up your record, it is important that you talk to an experienced criminal defense attorney.
