Frequently Asked Questions About Pickens County Expungement

What's the difference between expungement and record restriction in Georgia?

Georgia doesn’t technically have “expungement”—it’s called “record restriction.” When your record is restricted, it’s hidden from most background checks but still accessible to law enforcement and certain licensing boards.
Most cases take 60-90 days from filing to completion. Simple cases with no objections from the DA can move faster, while contested cases may take longer.
It depends on the circumstances. First-time DUI cases that were dismissed, reduced, or completed under First Offender may be eligible. Convicted DUI cases typically cannot be restricted.
Our attorney fees are typically $1,500-$2,500 for most expungement cases, plus court filing fees. We’ll give you exact pricing after reviewing your specific situation.
Record restriction hides your record from most employers, landlords, and background check companies. However, it may still be visible to law enforcement, certain professional licensing boards, and some government positions.
Technically yes, but expungement petitions require specific legal language, proper documentation, and strategic presentation. One mistake can result in denial—and you typically only get one chance.
