Expunge Your Criminal Record in Texas
Being charged with a misdemeanor or felony crime in Texas will put a black mark on your record that can impact your future forever. Even if the possible penalties for the charges you face are relatively insignificant, you should not simply take your lumps in court. Nothing is more important than keeping your record clear. Employers, universities and government agencies make decisions based on your background. A record of an arrest — even if charges were dismissed or you were acquitted — means you can lose out on job opportunities and benefits.
Criminal Defense Services for Clients Throughout the Fort Worth Region
At the law office of David E. Cook, we know that criminal defense representation doesn't stop when the prosecutor drops charges or the jury foreman says not guilty. We take extraordinary steps to keep your record clear. With more than 15 years of criminal law experience, attorney David Cook knows that even a traffic ticket on your record can result in future problems. That's why we offer a full range of services and use strategies that are focused on keeping your record clear or sealed from the public.
We offer criminal defense representation that includes:
Working with the prosecutor to find an alternative resolution that will not result in a felony or misdemeanor charge on your record. The state and most counties offer diversion programs that will place you in an approved awareness or treatment program. Upon successful completion, your charges are dismissed and will not appear on your record.
If the prosecutor's evidence is not in your favor to win in court, we seek an agreement that includes probation and no prison time. For misdemeanor offenses, alternative sentences such as fines, community service and diversion programs are often available. Upon successful completion of the sentence and a minimum waiting period, you may be eligible to expunge the charge and conviction from your record or seal it from public view.
We approach every case as if our client's future depends on getting the charges dismissed — because it does. We take every measure to investigate the charges and evidence, including issues of civil rights violations that can result in having your charges dropped or your conviction overturned.
