Savannah Expungement Lawyers

Experienced Attorneys Guiding You Through the Expungement Process in Chatham County, GA

Expungement can help many individuals remove charges, arrests and convictions from their permanent record. People who have charges or convictions on their permanent record can have great difficulty obtaining a job, particularly in a tough job market. Employers usually select an employee with a clean record when they can. There are options available to people who wish to remove any arrests, charges or convictions they may have on their record. Expungement and record sealing can be pursued with the help of a criminal defense lawyer.

To speak with our experienced Savannah expungement lawyers, give us a call at (912) 417-5008 or contact us online today. 

Want to Clear Your Criminal Record & Restore Your Reputation?

There are two ways that an individual can remove, or seal, any negative items on their record:

  • Expungement: this is the process of removing any arrest, conviction, charge or other offense from your record completely. Not every charge is eligible to be removed and a thorough review or your previous case will be conducted by the firm to determine what can be removed.
  • Record Sealing: we can fight aggressively to hide any arrests, convictions or charges from the public. Employers will not see any of these items when they run a background check. The only people who will have access to these files will be law enforcement and the judicial system.

    “Without Courtney I May Have Lost Everything!”
    “Throughout the process she communicated, received and answered my calls and questions promptly, and made me feel like a person, not a case number.”
    Van W.
    “Always Felt Comfortable”
    I can't thank you enough for all of your help over the past few months and for all the work you've put into my case. Shannon, Carli & Natalie along with the rest of the office made my family and me feel valued and appreciated when we needed it the most. We were always comfortable and confident in you guys because you always kept our heads up. Thanks again!
    Past Client
    “The best attorney for the job”
    Best work I've seen here in Georgia & Kansas. Thank you for taking my case – you and your team are wonderful.
    Past Client
    “Went above my expectations”
    "Each person I spoke with was able to answer my questions. I did not know what to anticipate, as I had never needed to use an attorney in the past; however, they did go above my expectations. I cannot praise Carli enough. She was patient, non-judgmental, efficient, and able to answer any question I had. As I live out of town and was very nervous and naïve about all of this, I could not have received any better representation."
    Past Client
    “Strong court presence and practical approach.”

    Courtney was outstanding I got in a pinch and called her law firm which is strictly professional and my case was dismissed I would highly recommend her firm to anyone
    Kevin J.
    “Exceeded My Expectations”
    The bar was set high, yet Mr. Schneider exceeded my expectations. Mr. Schneider and his team really seem to care about me and my future, and were always easy to get in touch with. I feel as though Mr. Schneider is very well educated about the matters related to my case and if he wasn't sure he knew who to ask. People can expect the firm to be fully invested into their problems, and to do everything possible to ensure the best possible outcome. Of all the bad choices that I have made in my life, picking Schneider Lerch, LLC to represent me definitely wasn't one of them!
    Past Client
    “Great DUI Representation.”
    I wish to sing the praises of my Savannah Attorney, Courtney Reynolds Lerch in Defense of my DUI Case that began in 2015 and was totally completed in 2019. From my arrest to receipt of the Court Completion Certificate Courtney demonstrated her competence assuring me of the very maximum result with a minimum of total cost. Thank you again Courtney! Ron
