You can apply for expungement of the PC 459 (Burglary) and PC 211 (Robbery) convictions by applying to the local District Attorney's office in the County where the conviction occurred. As these are not sex crimes or crimes against children, and if you have no later felony convictions in California or any other state, you should be able to get the expungements granted. I believe most local D.A.s office have a form application you can fill out and send back in. Depending upon how the local D.A. views the matter, you may be able to appear at the court hearing by phone or they may require you to attend in person. I believe you will also have to get a set of fingerprints from your local police department to send in with the application. A good approach would be to contact the local bar association in the county where the convictions occurred to get a referral to an attorney who does criminal defense in that county. The attorney should be able to explain how that county handles these applications.
