Removal of Names from State and National Registries

Was Your Name Unjustly Added to a California or National Registry?

If you were convicted of a sex crime, child abuse or another similar crime, your name may be added to a state or national criminal registry. Unfortunately, police and jury bias against people charged with these crimes can result in names being added unjustly. If this applies to you, we can help.

If you believe your name was wrongfully added to a criminal registry, contact the Law Offices of Shapiro & Clamon, in San Diego, California. We will help protect your rights and your reputation.

At The Law Offices of Shapiro & Clamon, we represent clients throughout the San Diego region who have been charged or convicted of crimes and now face the humiliation of placing their names and profiles on a criminal registry. We also assist those whose names should be removed from a registry.

Reasons to remove a name include:

• A client's probation is over and he is no longer required to have his or her name on a registry.
• A psychiatrist or psychologist determines that the crime was an isolated incident and the person is no danger to society.
• A jury wrongfully convicted an alleged offender.
• A name was unjustly added to a list based on prescribed consequences for a particular crime.

Federal and state registries, such as the Child Abuse Central Index (also known as CACI) and Megan's Law Registry,  can be viewed by the public, ruining reputations and preventing people from getting jobs or living in certain areas. The addition of your name to a registry may also cause you to lose your security clearance. Whatever is at stake, you can depend on us to use all of our skills and knowledge in pursuit of a successful outcome.
