Contract Work: The Pros and Cons of Being a Contractor y release from probation and file a petition to have your conviction reduced to misdemeanor and dismissed. To do this, file a PC 1203.3 petition to have probation terminated early.Accepting contract work is an option that some job searchers look at not only when they are having trouble finding fulltime work but because of the lucrative nature of contract assignments.Typically, contract work can run anywhere from around 1 month to 12 months in length and sometimes, even longer than that.Depending on the industry and job, contracts might differ in length but as a recruiter, this is the typical range that I tend to see available.Depending on the specific situation, here are some possible benefits of contract work:1. MoneyContractors typically get paid on an hourly basis for actual hours worked with no benefits or holidays paid but depending on the specific job, can often make more money than if they were doing the same job on a fulltime basis. Hence, working on contract – especially if you can find a long-term contract of 1 year or longer – can be quite lucrative. Plus unlike most salaried staff, contract staff get paid overtime.2. Variation of WorkContract work often allows you to change your jobs frequently especially if you are working short-term contracts. There isn’t much chance of getting bored if you are constantly working on new projects or for different companies.3. Tax BenefitsDepending on your local tax laws, you might find tax benefits if you are self-employed and have the ability to write off business expenses.ConsiderationsThere are some possible negative aspects you need to think about when it comes to contract work. First off, some employers can be turned off considering you for a fulltime job with their company if you have a recent track record of working on contracts.Since one of the benefits of contract work is the money you can make, hiring managers Also file a PC 17(b) petition to get felony reduced, and PC 1203.4 petition for expungement.

Expungement of a criminal conviction is an excellent way to close a chapter on a past mistake. Expungement allows a person to move forward with their life, without the baggage of a prior conviction, or having to disclose a criminal record. Expungement provides freedom, peace of mind, and a clean slate. Expungement of criminal convictions is the process that changes your plea from guilty or no contest to a not guilty plea. Expungement of a criminal case has many benefits, chiefly the ability to deny a conviction when asked by a potential employer. What is the process? Expungement begins by determining which type of relief is appropriate. The law will vary from state to state, so it is critical that you consult with a lawyer that knows the expungement law in your jurisdiction. The type of expungement that will apply in your case will depend upon whether you were a juvenile or an adult at the time of the conviction; whether the conviction was for a misdemeanor or a felony; and whether you were placed on probation or went to state prison as part of your punishment. Expungement will usually require a lawyer to draft a motion (a formal legal document asking the court to take a particular action). The expungement motion will be filed with the court that sentenced you, and will also have to be served on the prosecutor and, in some cases, the probation department. To get an Order of Expungement, the court must be convinced that you have led an honest and upright life, and the interests of justice would be served by granting the request.

There are two different lines of reasoning emerging as to how the business should be run. One is go for volume and discount and wash the world. The other is go after the high end customer which is 10% of the market, do exceptional work and charge as much as the market will give. These two principles are the reason for a war between mobile auto detailers and mobile car washes. Mobile car wash companies are often seen washing the Honda car for the single mom in an office complex. While the auto detailers would not touch the car unless she was a total babe and they thought they might get a date out of it.Sometimes there is much animosity in parking lots and words spoken when the two types of businesses are at the same location. Sometimes you hear the mobile car washer say something like; “We don’t do detailing, we wash cars.”This puts the mobile auto detailer at ease; unless they also sometimes wash cars. Sometimes the mobile car washers will tell them that they will refer customers to them who want detailing because you don’t do that; even ask for a stack of business cards. During the next week the mobile car washer might refer eight to ten people to them. If they hear back that people are pleased, refer two people per week from then on; meanwhile the mobile car washer ends up stealing all the mobile detailers weekly wash customers because the prices are so much different. As soon as this starts happening the mobile detailer starts to bad mouth the mobile car washers quality.Mobile car wash operators think; “Why would someone bad mouth you when you just referred business to them?” Good question, it is hard to understand why people shoot themselves in the foot. Here is their logic:They do detailing, they spe o Your Date(s) of Conviction(s) [The date of your plea or verdict.] o The Code Name(s) and Section Number(s) you were convicted of violating. o Was there a "Verdict" or did you "Enter a Plea"?

Dismissal Of Cases Not Involving State Prison Sentences: If you were convicted of a misdemeanor or a felony and were not sentenced to state prison or under the authority of the California Department of Corrections you can petition for a dismissal. This means you were given county jail time, probation, a fine, or a combination of those three. If you are petitioning for a dismissal, the court upon proper motion, may withdraw your guilty or nolo contendere (no contest) plea, or verdict of guilt if you went to trial, and enter a not guilty plea. Then the court will set aside and dismiss the conviction. From that point forward, you are considered no longer convicted of the offense. Your record will be changed to show a dismissal rather than a conviction. You are Eligible if: 1. If you were given probation, you have either completed it or obtained early release. If you violated your probation and it was either reinstated or revoked, then the court has discretion whether or not to grant you a dismissal. 2. If you were not given probation, it has been at least one year since the date of conviction. 3. You have paid all fines, restitution and reimbursement ordered by the court as part of your sentence. 4. You are not currently under arraignment for a new criminal offense (charges pending), nor are you on probation for another offense. If you were convicted of any of the following offenses you are not eligible for a dismissal: Vehicle Code Section 42001(b) which includes sections 2800, 2801 and 2803; Penal Code Section 261(d), 286(c), 288, 288a(c), 288.5 and 289(j). If you were referred to a "diversion" program, you record will already be changed in one of two ways. If you successfully completed all of the diversion program requirements, your record should already be changed to show a dismissal. If you didn't complete your requirements or were not actually given diversion, then the conviction will be on your record. If you were convicted of possession of marijuana for personal use then you do not necessarily need to get a dismissal for the offense. Under California Health and Safety Code Sections 11361.5 and 11361.7 all possession of marijuana for personal use convictions, after January 1, 1976, are erased from your record after two years. BE CAREFUL! The conviction cannot be for cultivation, sales or transportation. If it is, it will be on your record. Your Juvenile records do appear on your criminal record. Upon your 18th birthday, you are eligible to petition to have your juvenile records sealed. Once sealed, no one can gain access to them and they will be completely destroyed five years from the date of sealing. Juvenile records are not automatically sealed upon your 18th birthday. You must affirmatively petition the juvenile court to have them sealed. You can do this by filing out a form and filing it with the juvenile court in the county in which you were convicted. Contact the juvenile court in the county you were convicted, and ask them to send you a copy of the form used in that county. Check to see if they have any special filing requirements such as additional photocopies or the need to serve copies of the petition on any government agencies, and get the correct information for filing by mail. Usually, there is no fee. If you graduated from the California Youth Authority, your juvenile conviction(s) will have been dismissed as part of your graduation. If you do not petition to have your juvenile records sealed and destroyed, they will remain on your record until your 38th birthday, then they will be destroyed. Procedure: Complete and File the Petition(s) and Fee Waiver(s). If you are filing a petition for reducing a felony or a petition for early release from probation or for a dismissal, you will need to call the Clerk of the Superior Court for the county in which you were convicted, and ask them for the following information: 1. Have them send you as many copies of their form (if they have one) as you have convictions in that county. 2. Ask if you need to submit additional photocopies of the petition, and how many? 3. Ask if their rules of court require you to serve copies of your petition on the district attorney and/or probation department? 4. Ask what the correct mailing address is for filing by mail? Remember, you can only dismiss one conviction at a time. This means you will fill out a separate petition for each conviction that you want to dismiss, but you can file them all at the same time.
