Sealing Arrest Records

Many individuals do not realize that your criminal record includes all the arrests you may have experienced.  It also includes the history of any criminal charges, even when you have been found not guilty in court.  When applying for certain types of jobs or in state licensing, you may be asked not only if you have been convicted of a crime, but have you ever been arrested for a crime.  Even though this seems unfair, as it seems that individuals who have been found not guilty should be able to go on with their lives, this is not necessarily the way it works.  When prospective employers do a background check, they will be able to see every time you were ever arrested, and what was the result of the case.  This information can create a problem for you in getting certain types of employment as the employer may prefer to hire someone who has never been arrested.  When this is the case, with the assistance of a Los Angeles lawyer, you can take the legal actions to get your arrest records sealed.

Los Angeles Lawyer Experienced in Sealing Arrest Records

This action can be very important to individuals who want to avoid the stigma that comes from ever having been arrested.  With the assistance of an attorney from the Law Offices of Sean Tabibian & Associates, the legal procedure for sealing your arrest records can be initiated.  The first action is to have you declared "factually innocent" of the charge.  Once this is accomplished, the procedure for sealing the records can be done.  When the arrest records are "sealed" this actually means that the arrest records will be destroyed and it will appear that you were never arrested.  This can be very important for those who are applying for state licenses, as you will be asked if you were ever arrested as part of the criteria for licensing.  At the Law Offices of Sean Tabibian & Associates, the attorney can guide you through the process and get your arrest records sealed, if you qualify.
