When arguments or fights at home intensify, thoughtful people will seek to work things out if possible. Sometimes, however, someone calls the police. Once law enforcement is involved, the chances are great that someone will be arrested. Even if the person who calls asks for charges to be dropped, this will not likely prevent legal troubles.

DUI is a serious matter. Being convicted of a DUI charge has long-lasting effects, including staying on your record forever. Your insurance rates are likely to go through the roof if your company doesn’t drop you altogether. Even minor moving violations may have ripple effects with increased insurance rates if not handled properly. If you have been charged with a DUI, please contact Elbaz & Stimpson to get started on a case evaluation with our trained attorneys.

The state of Georgia has a legal process that allows you to remove arrests from your criminal history under certain situations. This process used to be called expungement; it is now called record restriction. You may also be eligible to have the clerk’s file in the county where your case resolved “sealed,” which means to restrict the public from accessing the physical clerk’s file and the online county webpage. If you are applying for college, applying for new employment or even submitting a rental application, you want your record to be as clean as the law allows to give you the best chance to succeed.
