Hello, my name is Chris Morales. I am a criminal defense attorney in San Francisco, California. I’m a board certified specialist in criminal law. Today I want to talk about felony convictions and how they can affect you for the remainder of your life. Felony convictions can prevent you from joining the armed forces such as the army, navy or air force. It can prevent you from owning a gun, it can prevent you from serving on a jury, from holding public office, from getting a state license like a plumbers license, or electrician license
or from being a lawyer. So, all these things you cannot do as a convicted felon, but there is hope many felonies can be reduced to misdemeanors and then you are not a convicted felon any more you are only convicted of a misdemeanor. Felonies can also at times be expunged, which softens the effect of the felony. After 7 or 8 years at least here in California you can get a certificate of rehabilitation, which also helps to soften the effects of the felony. Sometimes if there is a mistake made by the prosecutor, the judge or even your own lawyer
at the time you were convicted there may be a way to go back and over-turn the entire conviction that’s the best case scenario. There are other ways to soften or to get rid of your felony conviction. I’ve written a special free report you can download it at my website: www.sfcriminallawspecialist.com and that will give you more ideas how to clean up your criminal record. You can also call me at (415) 552 -1215 and we can discuss the matter more. And follow me on Twitter and on Facebook and read my blog.
We regularly post blogs on how to clean up your criminal record.
