    Default Misdemeanor Records Not Found

    My question involves criminal records for the state of: California
    Hi, I was arrested in 1991;1993; and 1997 for DUI misdimeaners and have been trying to expunge my record. I had fingerprints sent to the california justice department and it came back negative; a lawyer i hired said he found the case numbers in court but had to request records from the california justice department. They have not sent anyting and its been 6 months. What can i do? I would like to look into other job fields and the question keeps comming up about criminal records how should i answer?

    Why did your lawyer request records from Cal DOJ? Cal DOJ is just a repository and is dependent on the courts and law enforcement agencies to provide information about arrests and dispositions. In sum, cal DOJ does not keep the records in Sacramento. the records would be located in the relevant courthouse with the court clerk. For most misdemeanors though, the case files are physically destroyed after a few years once a case is closed out, but database information or register of action pages would exist. Your lawyer should obtain a database printout of the courts minutes for your case numbers to start.
