What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? GA
In 2006 I received two citations from Park Rangers in the Chattahoochee National Forest. One citation for misdemeanor violation of the GA controlled substance act, Marijuana, and one citation for providing alcohol to underage persons (all three were over 18, but under 21). I was 21 at the time. I plead first offenders in US Federal Court, GA Northern District at the courthouse in Gainesville, GA. I got one year of federal probation. I completed the probation and went back to court (where my friends charges were expunged), and the judge kind of dropped the charges (to my understanding), but it is obviously still on my record. I had an attorney appointed by the court since I was a broke college student at the time. I am now 25 living and working w/o any charges since, minus one speeding ticket. Because of these charges, I was almost not hired in my current job, and I have had to jump through many hoops to get the state licenses that are needed for my job. I was hoping someone could tell me what my chances are of getting this expunged. I am thinking I will probably have to wait a few more years, if it can be done at all. My friends all had their records expunged, because they were 20 years old at at the time of the incident. My appointed attorney told me there was nothing that could be done at the time.
I just want to not be hindered by this anymore.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
