Georgia Criminal Records Expungement Lawyer
Expungement, in its simplest form, allows for the sealing or destroying of a person's criminal record. A clear criminal record may offer more and better job possibilities, secondary education options and other opportunities. Obtaining an expungement is not an easy process, can only occur in certain circumstances and does not happen automatically. For those who want to pursue an expungement, however, and are willing to be patient, the positive impact can be tremendous.
As one of the few lawyers in Georgia who handles expungement cases, I have the skill and experience to help you understand whether filing a request is in your best interest. I can help you understand the process, answer questions about your situation and let you know whether you meet the criteria for expungement. If your request is denied by the agency, I can also help you file an action in superior court.
Atlanta Expungement Attorney
If you were arrested for a crime but were not convicted, you may make a request for an expungement to the agency that had jurisdiction in your original case. The prosecuting attorney will decide whether your case meets the criteria for expungement, and if it does, will review arrest records from the case. If the attorney declines the request, you have the option of pursuing the expungement in court.
