Knoxville Criminal Expungement & Criminal Defense Lawyer

Criminal Expungement

If you have a Tennessee criminal record you need experienced criminal defense lawyer who will fight to clear your criminal record. At The Garza Law Firm, you will consult with experienced criminal lawyer who has had cases expunged in Tennessee. We will represent you throughout the entire proceeding.

Expungement is a legal process by which a criminal conviction is dismissed. A guilty plea, “no contest” plea or a finding of guilt by a judge or jury is set aside and the case is dismissed. An expungement relieves the defendant of certain penalties and disabilities that result from a criminal action. The arrest, prosecution and conviction records remain in the file and a notation is placed in the file that the conviction has been dismissed. As is commonly believed, an expungement does not seal or destroy your criminal records. Not all criminal convictions can be expunged. Most misdemeanors qualify for expungement.

A qualified, Tennessee criminal defense Expungement attorney, can assist in determining your expungement eligibility. If eligible for an expungement, your lawyer will file a petition to expunge your record. Once granted, an expunged criminal record cannot be reversed. However, keep in mind that, if after your record has been expunged, you have additional criminal charges; the expunged convictions can be used against you. And, on all government-related forms, upon request you must reveal the expunged criminal convictions.

Because of work and family commitments and the uncertainty and risk of trial, many of our clients prefer to resolve their cases without a trial. If that is your preference, we will work to achieve the best possible result for you. In most cases, a resolution can be worked out that is satisfactory to you. Successful resolutions include jail alternatives like house arrest, reduced fines, and reduced/dismissed charges. Because of work most people can't have a criminal history, so we work to negate any negative consequences to your criminal record. We will keep you informed of the status of your case as it progresses to assure you understand what is occurring. You can always contact our office where you will speak to a person regarding any questions you may have in your case.

Your freedom and record are too important to entrust to an inexperienced criminal defense lawyer contact the Garza Law Firm today for a free consultation.
