Having a criminal record can make it harder to get a job, housing, or even a loan. But in many cases, you can legally erase certain charges through a process called expungement.
At The Watson Law Firm, we’ve helped clients throughout Knoxville clear their records and move forward with confidence.
1. What Is Expungement?
Expungement is the legal process of erasing an arrest or charge from your record, as if it never happened. Once expunged, employers and background checks will no longer see the charge.
2. Who Qualifies for Expungement in Tennessee?
You may qualify if:
- Charges were dismissed or you were found not guilty
- You completed a diversion program
- You were convicted of eligible misdemeanors under Tennessee law
3. How an Expungement Lawyer Can Help
Your attorney can:
- Determine if your case qualifies
- File the correct petitions with the Knox County Clerk
- Represent you in any necessary hearings
- Ensure the record is fully cleared from all systems
4. Why It Matters
Clearing your record can restore job opportunities, professional licenses, and peace of mind.
