Criminal Background Check

Criminal Background checks are necessary for getting a job or a house in Los Angeles. Let us look at the reasons and how they can be obtained. 

A criminal background check is a document or a ‘rap sheet’, that has a list of interactions you may have has with law enforcement bodies. It is a government registered criminal history sheet based on the information from the government database that is maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Each state has its criminal background check, and it is important to perform both. The California Department of Justice (CA DOJ) or the state background check is different from the Federal background check. FBI checks apply across the country while the state check is confined to just that particular state. 

A Background Check Affirms your Eligibility

The Rap sheet contains warrants, arrests, charges, convictions, prior deportations, sentencing information, court records, reports of arrests, notes from the officers and information about the case.  

For instance, if you are an immigrant in Los Angeles California and are looking for an apartment and job at the same time. Both require background checks to see if you have any criminal records and a clean check is necessary to establish to your employer and landlord that you are eligible for the new house or job. 

Evaluate your Eligibility

There are certain types of crimes that disqualify an individual from availing of these privileges. If you have undergone arrest and detained by law enforcement legal advice it will be useful to ascertain if you are eligible for expungement.

We will evaluate the nature of the crime such as, DUI (driving under the influence), public disorderliness, illegal immigration or being stopped at the border while entering the U.S. complying on a bargain with the prosecutor, violating parole or probation, expunging or dismissing a conviction.
