Motion to Vacate (PC 1473.7) Attorney in South Pasadena, CA

An old conviction can resurface years later and threaten your immigration status, your job, or your record. California Penal Code 1473.7 lets you vacate convictions you never knowingly entered, and these motions are one of the areas I'm known for.

A 1473.7 motion lets someone who is no longer in custody challenge a conviction when they didn't truly understand its immigration consequences at the time. For many people, it's the difference between staying with their family and facing removal.

I handle the entire process: pulling the record, gathering the declarations and evidence, drafting the motion, and arguing it in court. Across these cases I've built a 99% success rate vacating convictions.

If an old case is standing in your way, it's worth a conversation. There's often more that can be done than people realize.
