Earlier this month, Californians passed Prop 47.
It changes a number of crimes that used to be felonies into misdemeanors.
It was meant to help people who have felony records for relatively minor offenses be able to have those felonies reduced to misdemeanors.
Prop 47 allows people with certain felony records to ask the Court to change their convictions into misdemeanors on their records.
Felonies on your record can be a huge problem.
It can mean not being able to get a job, receive public assistance, get student aid and even means you cannot vote or own a gun or ammunition.

This means on job applications and other forms that are not government forms, when asked if you have ever been convicted of a crime, you have the legal right to say, "No."
An experienced lawyer will follow a three-step process in preparing to get you an expungement.
