First, I am not licensed in the California and cannot advise you on the particulars of California expungement law. In that regard, you need to contact an attorney licensed to practice in California. Generally, however, if the charge was not a first or second degree felony (which should include violent crimes, sex crimes, or serious drug offenses), it could be possible to get your case expunged. Other potential requirements would be that you were not subject to a mandatory prison term and that a certain period of time has passed since the end of any probationary period.
