Do I have to hire and pay a lawyer to expunge my criminal record or can I do it myself?
I live in Orange County California and I have already found my past cases online. I have also downloaded the proper forms to file and researched the self help/ do it yourself instructions relating to my situation. So I’m wondering if the lawyer that quoted me an estimated cost of $2000 for him to handle this task would be more effective or can I just do it myself and save my money. It seems like his costs are higher than the average expungement lawyers but he is a friend of the family so they are trying to encourage me to hire him.
i think you can do it by yourself, call the courts and ask.

…And Justice For All $1.98 Al Pacino plays a Maryland lawyer who takes on a judicial system rife with dealmaking in this awkward blend of satire and sentimentality. Topical director Norman Jewison can’t seem to help Pacino get comfortable with the mismatched material, which pushes the film into outrageousness at some turns and mawkishness at others. The script by Barry Levinson and Valerie Curtin is more an accumulation of … |
