Case Result: Felony Grand Theft Reduced to Misdemeanor and Expunged

On February 19, 2016, upon our motion, a client of mine who was convicted of felony grand theft had her conviction reduced to a misdemeanor and then expunged from her record.  Since she is not a citizen, this was a key motion to win, as she is now no longer inadmissible to the United States and can file an application to adjust her status without needing a waiver from USCIS.  Furthermore, here in California, she can indicate on job applications that she has never been convicted of a crime.
