I am a defendant in a case and I can’t seem to get in touch with my lawyer. Can I speak to your office?
All attorneys are governed by a code of ethics that prevents them from directly speaking to a person who is represented by an attorney. Therefore, any questions you have about your case must be answered by your own lawyer.
I was cited and released by the police. Can you tell me if your office filed charges against me?
Yes, please call (805) 654-2500 and we will provide you with that information.
How can I have my criminal record expunged?
Depending on the type of crime for which you were convicted and the sentence imposed by the judge, there are various procedures and forms that may be required before a judge will consider your request. You should seek assistance from the attorney who represented you in your case to assist you. The District Attorney’s Office does not initiate or handle expungement requests. The Ventura County Public Defender’s website offers guidance about court forms used to make these requests at: https://vcpublicdefender.org/expungements/.
