Get a New Start! Expunge Your DUI Conviction

December 18, 2014

If you have ever been convicted of a DUI, you’ll know that the effect on your life is much more wide reaching than just a suspension of your driver’s license or a fine and probation. A DUI conviction can affect your ability to get a job or a promotion long after your conviction.

Many people don’t know that, if eligible, you can get your DUI conviction expunged. Expungement does not mean the conviction is completely wiped from your record. However, it will remove your conviction from your record and show a dismissal of the case instead. You will be able to answer on most job applications, except on applications to state licensing boards, that you have not been convicted of a crime.

You may be eligible for an expungement if:
a. You were placed on Court or formal probation and fulfilled the conditions of probation for the entire probationary period, or where the court determines it would be in the interest of justice.
b. You were convicted of a crime, but were not placed on probation or committed to State Prison, and one year has passed since judgment, and
c. You are not charged with any new crime or serving a sentence for another crime.
d. You have paid all fines and fees.

Don’t let your DUI disrupt your life any longer. Call Attorney Matthew C. Tabo today at The Tabo Law Firm at 916-504-2660 to determine your eligibility for an expungement.

The Importance Of Enforceable Prenuptial Agreements in California

March 7, 2025
Entering into marriage is one of life’s most significant decisions, and having a well-prepared prenuptial agreement can offer a layer of security and clarity for both partners. However, it’s crucial to recognize that not all prenups are enforceable in California. Without meeting specific legal requirements, your agreement may be deemed invalid, potentially leading to complicated and costly legal battles in the event of a divorce.  In our latest video, we explore the essential elements that make a prenuptial agreement valid under California law—ranging from proper timing and full financial disclosure to the requirement that both parties have independent legal counsel. Understanding these requirements is not just about protecting your assets; it’s about ensuring your agreement reflects fairness and transparency, preventing potential challenges in court.

Why You Can’t Waive Child Support in a Prenup

By The Tabo Law Firm • January 29, 2025
At The Tabo Law Firm, we know how important it is to protect your interests with a strong, enforceable premarital agreement. But when it comes to child support, there’s one thing you absolutely cannot do: waive it. California law makes it clear—child support is always modifiable based on change in circumstances. You can’t use a prenup to eliminate or limit this right because child support is designed to protect the best interests of the child, not the parents. Including provisions that violate this law will render your agreement unenforceable. When drafting premarital agreements, enforceability is our top priority. We ensure that every provision complies with California law, so your agreement stands up in court. Including anything illegal, such as an attempt to waive child support, undermines the entire contract and risks getting it thrown out. If you're considering a prenup, don’t leave its enforceability to chance. At The Tabo Law Firm, we specialize in crafting agreements that protect your interests while standing firm under California law. Call us today at 916-866-8856 to schedule a consultation and ensure your premarital agreement is legally sound and enforceable. Don’t risk your future—let’s secure it together!
