Yes. If you were arrested and the charges were dropped then you can have the records sealed and destroyed in California. It requires that you go before a judge and that a hearing be held so you may want to speak with an attorney in your area. Good luck.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
