Can a Juvenile file/ Higher a lawyer to file for an Expungement?

If someone commited a crime when he was an age of 15, which resulted in a misdemeanor for the title battery. Can he still file for an expungement under Penal Code 1203.4a? Anyone know?

That is the CA statute, I'm guessing?

Yes, you can file for expungement of your juvenile record under 1203.4a.

While juvenile records are sometimes sealed in CA, it is not automatic and it does not apply if the juvenile was charged as an adult. Also, expunging the conviction does not seal the record unless you also petition to have that done. Instead, the record will show a change of plea to "not guilty" and a dismissal of the charges.

What state is the case in? Most juvenile records are sealed. However, yes you can file for an expungement or non-disclosure depending on the nature of the crime and the length of time since the disposition.

yes you can
and i dont see why not eaither
