Everyone Deserves A Second Chance: (423) 668-6303

If you have been convicted of a crime, it will go onto your criminal record. Having a criminal record can negatively impact your future opportunities as potential employers and educational institutions can view your record; however, there are actions you can take in order to expunge your record. Once your record has successfully been cleared, you will not be required to disclose prior convictions or arrests on applications for housing, employment and more. Generally, when a potential employer, institution or school runs a background check, the expunged record will not appear. To find out if you are eligible for expungement, contact Meade Law Group for a free consultation. Our expungement attorney will go the extra mile in order to secure a brighter future for you.
