Georgia Expungement
Because you deserve a clean record.
It’s not often in life we are given second chances. But with a Georgia expungement, you can get a second chance and erase a crime you and your family want to forget about. With an expungement, you can have your criminal record sealed or essentially “erased.” Imagine not having to worry about potential employers running a background check on you and starting with a clean slate. It’s entirely possible with the help of the right attorney.
At the HTW&W Law Office, we can help determine if a Georgia expungement is possible if you were convicted of a crime. Not only can this shield you from embarrassment later in life, having a record expunged may improve your odds of maintaining and finding employment.
Can everything surrounding my crime be expunged?
Often times, all records concerning the incidents surrounding the crime can be removed including your arrest, detention and trial.
What is required to have a record expunged?
Typically the individual will need to have waited a certain amount of time since the arrest or dismissal, or show that they were simply not convicted. If convicted they may need to prove that they fulfilled their sentence, did not have prior incidents and are not involved in any current criminal matters. The court will also take into account the seriousness of the crime committed. In certain jurisdictions, records may be automatically expunged if the offender was underage at the time. The expungement will occur when he or she reaches adult age (usually 17 or 18). This allows the individual to have a “clean slate” for their adulthood.
Am I obligated to state that I’ve been accused of a crime if my record is expunged?
Many times, once your record is expunged, you can legally state that you were not arrested or accused of a crime. Under Georgia law, an expunged record is viewed like the crime never even happened.
To help get this process started, immediately call the HTW&W Law Office. By having your record expunged, you and your family can avoid unforeseen grief that haunts citizens accused of crimes. The HTW&W Law Office is ready to look at your case today.
