    Default Re: Prop 21 California

    Have you talked to an attorney about this? The offense is probably eligible for a dismissal (an expungement) pursuant to PC 1203.4. This would have a similar effect to having a juvenile record sealed and would allow you to answer, "no" to questions about prior convictions on most private employment applications.

    Speak to an attorney who can help you in this matter.

    I have been searching around for the best juvenile expungement attorney that I can find. Almost everyone I've come across has said that they couldn't do anything for me. One attorney said that he can get it dismissed and set aside so on my record it doesn't show any convictions. But I thought juveniles do not get a convictions. I'd always thought that convictions only apply to adults. Don't juveniles get adjudicated? So if I get my case dismissed how would my FBI printout look like?

    One other lawyer said that he can try to withdraw my guilty plea and re-enter another plea of grand theft which is a sealable juvenile offense according to Prop 21, but he is gonna charge me an arm and a leg. He wants to charge me $5000 if it doesn't require him interviewing witnesses and $7500 if it requires interviewing witness.

    Can I get some more input from people? I will definitely gonna try to get this case dismissed which is only costing me $750. But I really want my juvenile record sealed so that way I never have to deal with any other potential problems later on in life.

    Please help me out. Thank you!

    Oh, I forgot to mention...it turns out that the kid that i robbed had a cousin and his cousin is close friends with my best friend's little brother. If I were to talk to the victim today I think he would be willing to speak on my behalf and put in a good word for me. I honestly think he would be cool about it. I mean no one got seriously hurt. He and his mother didn't even bother showing up to court. It has been 15 years. The victim and I, well we've both moved on with our lives. We both have graduated from college and have goals in life. This was just a childish act that turned serious when the law was involved.
