My question involves traffic court in the State of: California
I got a citation back in 2003 and my case was an infraction and i was making payments on my ticket and lost track of it and realized it in my recent background check that it turned into a misdemenor (failure to appear in court), this is affecting me from getting a great job opportunity, Please advice on what steps can be taken to get this off my record as soon as possible i had to start work this monday but was not able to because of this on my record. I am unemployed right now.
