I was on the brink of losing my job as a school teacher. Sealing of my arrest record made certain that I keep my job and ensured a better life for my wife and our baby. 
J.G., Calif.

I wanted to apply for jobs but was afraid to disclose my criminal past. I also didn’t want to lie and deny I had a record. After having my record expunged, I can now legally answer “no” if an employer asks me whether I have a criminal record.
F.G., Calif.

I was convicted of a felony and was ineligible for obtaining permanent residency and US Citizenship. I was able to withdraw my 17 year old plea and have my case dismissed. I can now become an American citizen.
M.C., So. Calif.

I applied and was denied a Real Estate license because of my criminal record. Expunging my record enabled me to obtain my Real Estate license making possible a better future for myself and my family.
N.N., Calif.

I was convicted of a misdemeanor when I was a stupid juvenile. Although I had kept clean as an adult the conviction still followed me. Sealing of my juvenile record made sure people won’t have access to the record of mistakes I made as kid.
C.C., Calif.

I loved to hunt and after my conviction for a felony, I was no longer able to carry a gun. Reduction of my felony to a misdemeanor made it possible for me to continue hunting.
