Los Angeles Expungement

Los Angeles Judges are very reasonable about granting expungement petitions even with probation violations, if the proper facts are submitted to the Court. They are well informed on the law and the rights of petitioners. They are excellent in granting reductions to misdemeanor status.

Los Angeles County has a huge volume of criminal cases, but still manges to process expungement petitions (not a priority for any court) pretty well. Van Nuys is rather quick on misdemeanors; Airport Court and Metro are a lot slower. The County has over 40 Courts, and each is different. There are also several different prosecution agencies - the largest being the LA District Attorney, followed by the LA City Attorney. There are a number of other City Attorney Offices and all are unique in certain ways.

The expungement procedure can take from 8-20 weeks depending upon the Court, the complexity of the case, and how old the conviction is. Some delays can occur as this is a large county with limited resources dedicated to expungement processing.

Effective June 3, 2013, new misdemeanor and felony cases will no longer be filed at the Beverly Hills Courthouse, the Central Arraignment Courts (CAC), East Los Angeles Courthouse, Malibu Courthouse, Pomona Courthouse North and the Whittier Courthouse.

Effective June 3, 2013, pending misdemeanor and felony case filings at the Beverly Hills Courthouse, the Central Arraignment Courts (CAC), East Los Angeles Courthouse, Malibu Courthouse, Pomona Courthouse North and the Whittier Courthouse will be transferred to other courthouse locations.
