Will my case be public record?
Adult criminal proceedings in California are generally public record. Juvenile delinquency proceedings are generally confidential, with some exceptions. If you’re concerned about the visibility of a case — including questions about sealing or expungement after a case concludes — that’s worth discussing directly, since the answer depends heavily on the type of case and its outcome.
