The conviction will remain on your record until you file a petition for expungment. You may apply to have the conviction set aside and the case dismissed if you meet the following criteria: (1) If you were given probation, you have either completed it or obtained early release. If you violated your probation and it was either reinstated or revoked, then the court has discretion whether or not to grant you a dismissal; (2) If you were not given probation, it has been at least one year since the date of conviction; (3) You have paid all fines, restitution and reimbursement ordered by the court as part of your sentence; and (4) You are not currently under arraignment for a new criminal offense (charges pending), nor are you on probation for another offense. Not all misdemeanors are eligible to be dismissed in this manner. For more information, go to this website: http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/other/crimlawclean.htm
