Clear Your Record with an Arrest Seal: Protect Your Future with the Law Offices of Leonard Manalo

A mere arrest can have long-lasting consequences in today's digital age. With easy access to information online, even a simple arrest can be readily available to the public. This accessibility poses challenges, especially in a competitive job market where employers routinely conduct criminal background checks. However, in California, there is a solution: an arrest seal. At the Law Offices of Leonard Manalo, we understand the implications of an arrest record and are here to guide you through the process of sealing your record, protecting your privacy, and paving the way for a brighter future.

Understanding Arrest Seals:

An arrest seal is a court order that effectively seals records related to an arrest from public view. When your arrest record is sealed, it will no longer appear in background checks, allowing you to legally deny the occurrence of the arrest.

Eligibility for an Arrest Seal:

  1. Non-Convictions: If you were arrested but not convicted of a crime, you may be eligible for an arrest record seal.

  2. Certain Misdemeanors or Felonies: In certain circumstances, individuals who were convicted of specific misdemeanors or felonies may also qualify for an arrest record seal. For instance, successful completion of a drug diversion program or probation could make you eligible.

Relevant Penal Codes:

  1. Penal Code 851.91: This code section allows for the sealing of arrest records in cases where no conviction was obtained. If you were arrested but not convicted, this code provides a mechanism for sealing your arrest record from public view.

  2. Penal Code 1203.4: Although not directly related to arrest seals, this code section allows for the expungement of certain criminal convictions. Depending on your specific situation, the Law Offices of Leonard Manalo can explore the possibility of expunging a conviction in addition to pursuing an arrest seal.

Limitations of an Arrest Seal:

While an arrest seal offers significant benefits, it's important to be aware of its limitations:

  1. Government Access: After an arrest record is sealed, government agencies, such as law enforcement, may still have access to the sealed records. Additionally, the sealed arrest may be revealed in future legal proceedings.
