    Question Can I Expunge My Shoplifting Charge

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Georgia

    Hello, please help me with my question. I pled guilty to a shoplifting charge in 2001. It was petty theft (under $10) and a first offense, however, they still made it a felony. I hired a lawyer later and she had it Pardoned.
    Many employers dont accept pardons and prefer expungement of a charge. Under Georgia law, can I pursue expungement of my shoplifting charge? I paid the fine, did community service, and of course am not under parole and I certainly have not commited any other crime since then (unless a speeding ticket counts).

    How can I expedite this and is it possible?

    I don't see any statute authorizing expungement based upon the receipt of a pardon. I suggest verifying that with a local criminal defense lawyer, as sometimes there's a path to relief that's not immediately apparent from the statutes.
