EXPUNGEMENT/CERTIFICATE OF REHABILITATION/PARDON
(California Penal Code Section 4852.01 and sequential)

Testimonials

I was convicted of Penal Code Section 314 in three different criminal cases concerning indecent and lewd acts between 16 and 20 years ago; because of the nature of the charges I was required to register as a sex offender pursuant to Penal Code Section 290. I live in fear that others will discover that I am a registrant and that this will effect my family and my ability to work. As such, I hired Attorney William W. Bruzzo to represent me in an effort to clean up my record. Mr. Bruzzo is very experienced in these matters and he informed me that the first step toward cleaning my record is an Expungment, followed by a Certificate of Rehabilitation. He told me that once a Certificate of Rehabilitation is granted that this constitutes an automatic application for a Pardon from the Governor. Once a pardon is granted then I am relieved of my obligation to register and that is the most I can do to clear my record. Mr. Bruzzo then proceeded to prepare my case by getting a psychological evaluation of me, letters of recommendation and other evidence of rehabilitation. He then filed formal motions with the court and the District Attorney; in the end the motions were GRANTED by the court AS TO ALL THREE CASES. The granting of these motions is the final step prior to a full pardon. I truly benefited from the legal knowledge and experience of Mr. Bruzzo and I would recommend him for any criminal matter.

The Client had been convicted of two criminal charges concerning transportation, possession and sale of a narcotic under the Health and Safety Code over 20 years before in the Orange Count Superior Court; the client served about 1 year in jail for these offenses. After committing these offenses the client left the state and committed more crimes in another state. Then the client beat his drug addiction and began to turn his life around. The client discovered that the conviction hurt his ability to find employment. The Client was informed that to “clean” one’s record the procedures are Expungement, Certificate of Rehabilitation and Pardon. A Certificate of Rehabilitation is the second step toward a Pardon. Mr. Bruzzo filed a Certificate of Rehabilitation on behalf of the client and it was GRANTED. Because it was granted, the Certificate of Rehabilitation became an automatic Pardon application. Mr. Bruzzo’s legal knowledge and experience truly benefited the client in this case.
