Sealing Juvenile Records

Most people assume that their juvenile records are not available to those who do a background check.  In fact, if you do not legally request that you juvenile records be sealed, they remain available for most background checks.  If you had arrests and convictions as a juvenile, this can affect your ability to get a job later.  There are certain restrictions in sealing juvenile records, and under a very limited number of circumstances they can be reviewed, even if they are sealed.  However, if you have an arrest and conviction record as a juvenile, it is well worth contacting a Los Angeles expungements lawyer to assist you in this process.  At the Law Offices of Sean Tabibian & Associates, the attorney is very familiar with getting juvenile records sealed, and who qualifies for this legal procedure.

Expungements Lawyer in Los Angeles

In order to seal juvenile records, there are two requirements:  you must be an adult or the event must have occurred over 5 years in the past, and you must have not have been convicted of any crime or misdemeanor since that includes "moral turpitude", which refers to dishonest or immoral behavior.  There could be legal options to seal the records even in this case with specific actions taken by the defense lawyer helping you with the process. 

A court hearing will take place to determine whether sealing your juvenile records will be allowed.  The prosecutor will have the opportunity to oppose this action and evidence can be provided by the lawyer from the Law Offices of Sean Tabibian & Associates to support the request to seal the records.  In most cases, the legal team is aware quickly if you are eligible for sealing your juvenile records.  A review and evaluation of your specific case can take place, and if you are eligible the request can be immediately initiated.  This action can be of great value to those who wish to get a new start and be able to avoid future employers or others from discovering the details of errors in judgment as a juvenile.
