In order to be eligible for an expunction, there are a couple of reasons you might be eligible. One is you’re found not guilty by a jury, or by a judge, that is immediately eligible to be expunged. Another one would be where we get cases dismissed, and like I said, we get a lot of those cases dismissed. And there is a what may be a waiting period in order to get expunged, but you are able to get that expunged. And then there are other cases which are less common. Where expunctions aren’t available, one of the best things that you can do is check out AttorneysOnlineInc. because when you’re talking about messing up, like I talked about earlier, or messing up a case, you want to make sure that you’re hiring the best. And one of the things that I recommend is going to the internet, reading reviews, because a lawyer could tell you anything you want to hear, but what their clients say means a lot. That tells you a lot about the lawyer, now the other thing that you can do is look for certain awards. For example magazines talk criminal defense lawyers is a big one that people look at. Avvo has you know rankings as far as google, so you want to make sure you get a highly rated lawyer who has good reviews. To speak to a lawyer call us at the Goolsby law firm. Our telephone number’s (972) 394-2141, we’ll get you in for a free consultation.
