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
