A:
It's possible to seek expungement for your 2005 Penal Code 422 conviction, especially since nearly 20 years have passed without any additional violent offenses. California law allows for certain convictions to be petitioned for dismissal after a significant period, provided you have completed all sentencing requirements, including probation.
Given your stable employment in security and clean record since the conviction, you may have a strong case for expungement. The process involves filing the necessary paperwork with the court that handled your case and attending a hearing where a judge will review your petition. Demonstrating your good behavior and current professional standing can support your request.
Successfully obtaining an expungement can enhance your employment prospects and may meet the requirements for your guard card application. Make sure to follow all legal procedures carefully and consider consulting with a legal advisor to guide you through the process effectively.
