Pricing for Expungement & Pardon Services in Georgia

Payment Plans Available

A criminal record can hold you back from better job opportunities, housing, and financial stability. Fortunately, Georgia offers pathways to clear your record and move forward. Our services start at $950, and we’re here to guide you through every step.

📖 Did you know? A study by the University of Michigan found that individuals who clear their records experience a +22% increase in wages within one year. When employers asked about criminal history, the applicants without records received 63% more callbacks, even when the arrest records in question were relatively minor. (Read the study here).

If successful, the study suggests that our services will pay for themselves within one year.
