Expungement in Calfornia, Darren Chaker

Darren Chaker looks at expungement and the California Orange County Public Defender website concerning record sealing and procedure.

Take note, this post or any post here is not legal advice, so ask an attorney about your options, but understand you need not hire an attorney as public defenders will often file the paper work for you if you qualify.
