You can sue, but you’ll need good evidence that the arrest was wrongful and that you have documented injuries.
No jail time served. Pleaded guilty, had a fine and short probation. All this was around 20 years ago.

No. Federal ban is lifetime so it overrides California law.
I served 13 yrs. In state prison, after a jury convicted me. But the D.A. never brought the victims, felony involvement, into the trial. In fact, he underplayed their role in this supposed crime. Causing me to be found guilty. Im now seeking expungement, or relief.

I can’t begin to imagine what the actual facts are, but, if it involves you I would suggest talking privately to a criminal defense lawyer in your area.

This is a very confusing story, but entirely serious. You should stop posting any questions online and consult a criminal attorney in your area immediately.

Yes, the statute of limitations on Felonies is, at minimum three years. They could charge him anytime after three years on a felony offense. He is also looking at a probation violation on top of that. You should hire counsel immediately.

Call probation. They will pick him up. He has an active warrant, from what you say.
I was granted probation and "imposition of sentence was suspended" and never imposed? Is Probation without a sentence a punishment that is either a felony or a misdemeanor?

You plead guilty. You just didn't get the maximum sentence. You were convicted, though.

There is too little information here to give you a meaningful answer. In general, this approach rarely works and if it did, you could be prosecuted. I would consult a local attorney.

I am sure you could get the warrant recalled. You would just have to go to court, go see the clerk and ask that the case be put on calendar. The judge would easily recall the warrant and give you an extension of time. If you have an attorney, the attorney can do it without you but would need proof... View More

probably the cleanest is to call the clerk directly (no easy task, of course). Alternatively, you could hire an attorney to go pull the records or an attorney service in Los Angeles. The latter would probably be the most cost-effective.

You could be punished both for the new crime and buy additional time remaining on the probation case. I strongly recommend not commenting any further about details and hiring an attorney right away. Sounds like he did a lot of good things at the beginning that may help you at the end.

You should hire an attorney and go to court to get the warrant cleared up as soon as possible. If you cannot afford an attorney, contact your local public defenders office, let them know your situation and appear with one of them.

Yes of course you have to complete your probationary period or you will be in violation and subject to arrest.
Contact your probation officer. If you’re doing well he or she may allow you to terminate probation early. He then simply file a petition to seal the arrest.

The police department can issue a Detention only letter for you. Any records check will reflect a detention only.

You may fill out a form called a 1203.4. You will have to pay a filing fee of $150 and if you have not committed any probation violations are new crimes during the probationary period of those cases, the court will grant the motion and expunge the case.

A license to California attorney can represent you anywhere in the state. It makes sense however to hire someone who is local to you as they are familiar with local court processes, judges and prosecutors.
