What is Record Sealing?

In Georgia, record sealing is similar to expungement. The process for accomplishing this is through “record restriction.” Once record restriction is established, no public or private parties can access your criminal record. This will prevent it from being seen by future employers, landlords, and other interested parties who may run a background check.

Your record, however, will still be accessible to law enforcement or criminal justice agencies.

Who is Eligible for Record Sealing?

Record sealing can help you avoid having your criminal charges seen. With an effective Statesboro criminal defense lawyer on your side, you can give yourself the future you deserve.

Generally speaking, you may be eligible for record sealing if:

The charges against you were dropped
The charges against you were dismissed
You were found not guilty at trial

You will not be eligible for record sealing if:

You were prosecuted for the same type of misconduct in another state
You pleaded guilty to some other charge as opposed to the one you were arrested for
Your charges were dropped because of a plea agreement

Other exceptions may also apply. Those who were convicted of a first-time drug possession who completed all of the terms of their probation may also be eligible for record sealing. Other first offenses in which probation was successfully completed may also be eligible. Only a careful review of your individual circumstances will determine your final eligibility for record sealing.

"I am grateful to have had his support, guidance, and defense in my case."
I highly recommend Scott Brannen to defend your criminal law case. He and his legal secretary, Paige, are both professional and personal in their communications and interactions. I felt at ease while facing an otherwise uncomfortable situation.

Scott's knowledge of criminal law and legal procedures was evident from the initial consultation through the trial hearing. His prior experience and expertise in his field was clearly demonstrated in his approach and through his strategic responses in court.
He was careful to ensure that he shed light on all critical elements as well as circumstantial aspects of my case.

I am beyond pleased with the outcome of my trial hearing. I am grateful to have had his support, guidance, and defense in my case. I felt was in good hands from the beginning to the end. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

"10 stars!!"
If there were a way to give Mr. Brannen 10 stars when 5 stars is the excellent description, he definitely deserves 10 stars!
I can’t tell you how thankful I am for Mr. Brannen! His calm demeanor, wise council, care and concern go well beyond what a good attorney provides.
I can’t speak highly enough about him and his ability to care and the dedication he put towards my traumatic situation. This situation could have been disastrous for me and he handled it better than I could have ever imagined.
I’m forever indebted to Mr. Brannen. His expertise is exceptional and I recommend him to anyone who needs legal help. He goes above and beyond and I’m forever grateful!!!
