Clearing Your Criminal Record in Kern County

If you’ve been convicted of a crime, you have already felt the consequences in your everyday life.

You may be eligible for different forms of relief, such as expungement, sealing your arrest record, or having your probation terminated early.

Why Sealing Your Record is Important

Your arrest record can haunt your reputation, showing up in background checks and used by federal, state, and local agencies. Anyone who looks into your past can view your convictions, and this information may be used against you when it comes to housing, schooling, professional licensing, and more. City and district attorneys, police and sheriffs, bonds agencies, and even the FBI may use your arrest record for any number of reasons.

Your record is public and may also be viewed by anyone with an internet connection and your information. Sealing or destroying your arrest record may also mean protecting your privacy.

    Juvenile Client Has Felony Sex Offense Case Dismissed and Is Not Required to Register
    “I’m thankful and appreciative of them for fighting for my son!!”

    IF you are caught in a bad situation in life and are looking for a Lawyer and investigator to fight, do their job well in fighting to prove your innocence in your case, you need Kyle and Victor on your side!!!

    - Rena B.
    “Kyle is knowledgeable and an awesome attorney.”

    His experience and knowing what to do helped and he has wisdom in sharing and saying the right thing to calm you in whatever you are going through. At times I was talked to as if I knew the law but when questioned what he was talking about he would take the time to explain. He is a very busy man so it seemed like he was hurried but would come back to explain. Happy with the outcome and glad that we were able to find a great attorney.

    - Joe S.
    “As soon as we hired this law firm everything changed.”
    Needed a lawyer for our juvenile son for a felony assault case. Public defender was not very helpful and told us that at best our son would be on a very intensive probation for years if not sentenced to a camp. Rob Singh took our case and basically got everything resolved outside of court with the prosecutor within 2 weeks. Alleviated a lot of stress and anxiety by getting our son on a very minimal probation for 6 months and then records completely sealed. Highly recommended and would definitely hire this firm again.
    - Erik S.
    “Do yourself a huge favor and hire this man!!!”

    Jared and his staff, not exaggerating were on top of it all. If I called to talk to the girls in the front they handled everything right away, Jared reputation for being THE BEST matched him perfect. We had issues with the anger management classes and the staff really cared and helped us. Jared helped my son who was facing some serious charges but he genuinely cared about the whole truth and we got blessed tremendously! we are forever grateful and truly couldnt have imagined the outcome had we NOT hired him! Loved them thank you so much sincerely!

    - Former Client
    “Kyle is very professional but at the same time feels like your talking to a long time friend.”

    Kyle and his team are absolutely amazing! With my whole case they kept it completely stress free. Kyle will explain everything in a way you could actually understand. I highly recommend him. He's honest, fair and compassionate and fantastic to work with.

    - Saijel P.
    “Humphrey and Thompson are exceptional in criminal defense cases.”

    They were very straightforward about the possible outcomes and always seemed to be one step ahead in planning our defense strategy. The paralegal staff was also courteous and prompt in their responses, which made the whole stressful process much more bearable. I am profoundly grateful for their services. the Martinez Lugo family we loved them we really recommended thanks so much :)

    - Cesar M.
    “Mr. Thompson is the most honest and hardworking lawyer I have ever come across.”

    He was straight forward, informative, and very easy to work with from inception to completion. I strongly suggest reaching out to Mr Thompson should you need the services offered by his office!

    - Rob B.
    “Kyle took the time to listen to me and my wife about our situation and provide valuable feedback.”

    I had an amazing experience with Kyle! He is a straight shooter and that was crucial for me to hear. I was able to keep all my rights, get my case dismissed and that was huge for me! Kyle was able to take a bad situation for our family and deliver results that allowed us to move forward and grow. I highly recommend Kyle and his team!
