A: Yes, you can hire an attorney to assist you in the process of unsealing a birth record in California, especially if it involves complex legal procedures or if you find it confusing. An attorney can guide you through the necessary steps, including researching applicable laws, filing the appropriate petitions or motions with the court, and representing your interests throughout the process. It's advisable to consult with an attorney experienced in family law or civil litigation to ensure a smooth and successful outcome.
