Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

You're going to have to address this with a Colorado attorney. Here in California, some felonies can be reduced to misdemeanors after probation ends, but I don't know if that's the case in Colorado or for your particular charge. Laws vary from state to state.

You can search on Google or avvo.com for a colorado criminal defense attorney.

Your question is about the law of Colorado, not California. Please re-post it under that state, so that Colorado attorneys will see it and future Colorado users will be able to find it.

Generally speaking, it is hard to "clean up" a felony record. You will need a much better reason than "It's making the job I want unavailable." All felony convictions make it harder to get a good job, so if that was reason enough to modify a record every felon would be entitled to relief. But there may be other reasons why your record should be altered. Colorado lawyers will be able to explain what options you might have and how they work.

Good luck.

No, not for your stated purpose, unless the laws of Colorado are quite different than those of California. Read carefully the following rules on Expungement in California and then seek advice from a Colorado attorney specializing in expungement, if they even have such a thing in Colorado.

Keep firmly in mind that conviction of any felony anywhere results in a lifetime ban under federal law on the possession or ownership of any firearm or ammunition.

Some California convictions can be 'expunged' from criminal records by proper application and Petition to the convicting court, but ONLY IF there was no felony prison time sentenced whether served or not, and if it was not for certain listed sexual crimes, and if all terms of sentencing and at least one year of probation are completed, and if there are no new charges pending. If successful, the conviction would be retroactively withdrawn and the charges dismissed. Expungement does NOT �clear�, 'remove', �erase� or �disappear� the conviction. Nothing will. �Records are forever�. Expungement does change the court record to show an arrest, charges filed, with 'conviction reversed and charges dismissed by expungement'. The conviction is still a 'prior' or 'strike' for purposes of repeat offenses with the courts and DMV. Expungement does not restore firearm rights lost because of felony conviction or restraining orders. Expungement will help in obtaining employment. When applying for most jobs in the PRIVATE sector, in response to any question concerning your prior criminal record, you may �legally� deny that you were arrested or convicted of the offense. However, you must disclose the arrest and conviction in any questionnaire or application for certification or licensing by any government agency [medical, legal, educational, professional, law enforcement, security clearances, bonding, etc]. The licensing agency and employer then will decide whether the nature of the past convictions and your record will bar you from licensing and employment in that field.
