Record Restrictions & Expungements

Wiping the Slate Clean with Record Restriction in Georgia

A criminal record can cast a long shadow, affecting employment opportunities, housing applications, and personal relationships. In Georgia, certain offenses may qualify for record restriction (commonly referred to as “expungement”). At Elbaz & Elbaz Law, we guide clients through this often complicated process, helping them move forward without the burden of a public criminal history.

Eligibility for Record Restriction

     •           First-Time Offenders & Non-Violent Crimes: Georgia law offers certain first-time offenders a path to having their records sealed.

​

     •           Charges Not Resulting in Convictions: If your case was dismissed or you were acquitted, you might be eligible.

​

     •           Restrictions & Limitations: Violent felonies or multiple convictions may not qualify. We evaluate your case to determine all possible options.
