Certificate of rehabilitation

If you have been convicted crime and served time in state prison, the underlying conviction cannot be expunged. However, I am able to petition the court under Penal Code 4852.01 for a certificate of rehabilitation. This is a strong official endorsement from the court showing your criminal history is behind you and you are a valued productive society member.

Although a certificate of rehabilitation will not expunge your underlying conviction, it does show potential employers, family, and friends you are a changed person who has taken the necessary steps to put your criminal history behind you. A successful petition for a certificate of rehabilitation also creates an automatic application to and recommendation from the county court for an official pardon from the Governor. I have helped many clients successfully obtain a Governor’s Pardon.
