Johnson City Expungement Attorneys

How Do I Expunge My Record in Tennessee?

In Tennessee, all dismissed charges and even some convictions can be expunged, or removed from an individual’s record so that they no longer appear in background checks. This is a separate process from the dismissal of the charges against you and many people do not realize that the charge remains on their permanent record until it is too late.

Eligibility requirements for expungement include, but are not limited to the following:

• You can only have one criminal conviction on your record
• You must have completed your punishment, including probation or jail time
• Five years must have passed from the time you completed your sentence

In addition, if your charges were dismissed, you received a not guilty verdict at trial, prosecution did not pursue your case, or an order was dismissed, among other issues, your record may be eligible to be sealed, especially if it has caused issues with jobs, housing, loans, or professional licenses.
