Clear Your Record with Our Help

Have Your Case Reviewed Before Making the Request

Not all charges can be expunged from a criminal record. Arrests are generally able to be hidden on a record. Because the eligibility for expungement depends on the individual circumstances of a case, it is important to review the information with a skilled legal professional. With the help of an expungement attorney in Marietta, you can determine whether a case is eligible for expungement and prepare for the all steps of the legal procedure.

Common records eligible for expungement include the following:

  • Arrests followed by the individual being releases without additional legal action
  • Charges dismissed by a prosecutor at the beginning of a trial case

The Record Expungement Process

First, you will have to fill out a Georgia Request for Record Expungement. Along with your own information, this form requires information filled out by the arresting agency. At this point, the request is sent to the prosecutor who handled your case. If approved, you must deliver the request to the Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC).

You may be able to expunge all kinds of charges, including:

If your request is denied, you may have the opportunity to appeal the decision in a court of law. There are several fees and expenses throughout the expungement procedure, and having your request or appeal denied does not refund these costs. Consult a Marietta expungement lawyer to ensure that your request is done right the first time.
