Expungement

The only reason you would petition the court–via a Romero motion–to strike a strike from your criminal record is if you had another pending case that would be seriously affected by a prior strike. Striking a strike is NOT the same as expunging the conviction that serves as the basis for the strike. It only allows the court to disregard the strike for sentencing purposes, i.e. doubling the sentence or giving a life sentence. On the other hand, you may seek to get your strike conviction expunged from your record in the future. You will have to be off probation before you attempt this. An expungement of a strike conviction will be more difficult than a non-strike conviction, but please call the aggressive criminal defense lawyers at Wallin-Klarich…we will give you a full assessment of your case and outstanding representation!
