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.
