Being arrested and charged with a crime is a serious matter that will have both immediate and long-lasting consequences.

You will want to do everything you can to avoid a conviction, which is why it is essential to have an experienced legal advocate on your side.

Expunction in Wilson County
Your criminal record can follow you for the rest of your life, and it can affect your career, your reputation, and your family relationships. Fortunately, Texas law allows for expunction of criminal records in certain cases, including when charges were dismissed, when a suspect was acquitted, when a pretrial diversion program was completed, or when a person received a pardon. In cases when expunction is not available, a person may be able to have their criminal record sealed through a non-disclosure order. BRCK Criminal Defense Attorneys can help you understand your options for expunction or non-disclosure and work with you to complete the process of having your criminal record cleared.
