Past Arrests can haunt you… even 25 years later…



A recent article in the Wall Street Journal reported on accusations of crimes from the past affecting current employment for some. This is an important thing to consider. When you are arrested for a crime, you automatically have a criminal record generated.  In Georgia, this is commonly known as your GCIC (Georgia Crime Information Center) report. Even if the charges are later dropped, either through a pre-trial program or other means, the arrest stays on your record and can follow you throughout your life.


Recently I helped a client who had a 25 year old arrest and conviction for a misdemeanor marijuana possession.  We arranged to have his record restricted, so that future employers can no longer see this arrest and conviction.  Are there any skeletons in your closet that you wouldn’t want your current or future employer to know about?  There are ways to make sure a mistake of the past does not affect your future. Talk to an experienced criminal law attorney to explore your options.
