00:00Welcome to our channel. I'm Hugh Vue. And in today's video,
00:04we're going to be focused on how an orange County expungement attorney can help
00:08turn your life around by clearing your criminal record.
00:12Let's dive into why this is so crucial and how it can significantly improve your
00:15life.
00:16The first thing we want to talk about is what exactly is an expungement and why
00:22does it matter?
00:24An expungement is basically taking the case where you had a either a jury verdict
00:30of a guilty or you admitted that you were guilty or you took a plea.
00:36What it does is that it takes the case and we add it back into calendar and we
00:40change your guilty plea to a not guilty.
00:44After we change it to a not guilty, we dismiss your case.
00:49That is what it means to reopen and dismiss it.
00:52What this does is that it allows you to claim that you had no conviction on this
00:58case. And many times a lot of people,
01:01their only criminal record is one case. And if that's the one case,
01:05it can mean the difference and answering a job application to say that you have
01:10never been convicted in any crime by having an expungement attorney help you
01:14along this process.
01:16It helps with the complexities of the legal system.
01:21The expungement process is not simple as there are multiple agencies to serve.
01:26There's the courthouse.
01:27You have to process the paperwork and then there's also identifying the correct
01:31agency to serve. On top of that,
01:34there are legal petitions to file and on top of that there's also an adversarial
01:39court hearing that can happen as well.
01:41Have an attorney do this process can help,
01:45especially one that is familiar with your local courthouses.
01:49Your attorney will also look over your case and decide whether or not you are
01:55eligible for an expungement. In order to be eligible for an expungement,
02:00there are several factors at play here,
02:02including whether or not you completed your probation successfully,
02:07whether or not you had violations, restitutions,
02:11or you paid off your fines.
02:13There are several hurdles that you have to go through in order to become
02:16eligible for an expungement. Having an attorney look over your case,
02:22pull your, your records and analyze it will help.
02:26There's no use in moving forward with an expungement if you are not eligible.
02:31Once you are found eligible for an expungement,
02:34then there's a process that you have to go through.
02:37It includes an interview, finding out who you were back then,
02:41who you are now,
02:43what did you learn from the process and ultimately how an expungement will help
02:49you. After that,
02:50we craft a letter to the judge and for the purpose of helping you get your
02:57expungement,
02:58it's important that you choose the right attorney for your expungement.
03:02The right attorney will provide you tips on how to navigate your case.
03:08On top of that,
03:09having an attorney will decrease the chance of your expungement being denied.
03:14Being denied. And if there's a district attorney objection,
03:19having the right attorney, you will overcome those objections.
03:22And on top of that, by having the right attorney,
03:25if there is a DA objection,
03:27having someone who is regularly in the courts and knows how to deal with the
03:32objection, your chances of overcoming it is that much higher.
03:37An important knowledge of the local court system will always benefit you.
03:41After this is done with and your case is dismissed,
03:45your life would be affected differently.
03:47You will no longer have to answer that you've been convicted or you have a
03:51criminal record.
03:52This can impact your professional and personal life as well.
03:56It can impact your professional life by having finally a competitive edge.
04:02It can affect your professional life by finally having a competitive edge when
04:07filling out job applications.
04:09Many people are in companies and they want to do a lateral transfer to a
04:14different company. However,
04:15they fear the background check and they oftentimes will sit in a job or a
04:21company that they don't like with similar opportunities across the pond with
04:26higher pay because they do not want to run the background check by clearing
04:32your conviction. You will be free to these chains.
04:35Clearing your criminal record can open new doors and opportunities.
