Candace Seagroves has gained the respect of her peers, both in and out of the courtroom. However, her clients are her greatest reputation source. Clients are impressed not only with her knowledge and expertise, but also by the sincerity and commitment in her service.

Dr. J.B.

For 39 years, I was continually reminded of my criminal record while advancing myself educationally and professionally. In search of an out of state attorney, I retained Candace Seagroves, Esq. to expunge my criminal record. Her knowledge and experience made the process easy to understand, and she kept me well informed by providing step-by-step progression of the expungement. Additionally, she answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner. I highly recommend Ms. Seagroves as she exceeded all my expectations and I no longer have a criminal record.

I suddenly learned that 30 years previously I had been labeled as “mentally defective”, when the renewal of my concealed carry license was rejected. Once Ms. Seagroves looked into the matter it was only a matter of time until she relieved me of this burden which permitted me to again live my life and enjoy the protection of our great second amendment. As a professional engineer, I no longer have to worry about how a simple background check might damage my reputation. As a responsible gun owner, I can now legally possess a firearm for our personal protection. These simple rights that every American should be able to enjoy are ours once again thanks to Ms. Seagroves.

W. Culbreth

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Seagroves regarding a permit appeal after my application to renew my concealed carry permit was denied. My outcome was favorable and my concealed carry permit was reinstated. I was extremely pleased with her professionalism and genuine concern for clients! Consequently, she is my go-to person for legal services.

Frank N., Ph.D.

When I was 20 years old, for the offense of being in possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, I was given a felony conviction and a permanent criminal record that created various problems over the years despite my never having had any other criminal arrests or charges. Most of these problems, including confiscation of my firearms and being placed on a “no fly list,” occurred after 2001. Due to this conviction, I was also unable to renew my U. S. Passport. I had hired another lawyer who, despite payment, was unable to help me with these serious problems. When I first contacted Attorney Seagroves, she responded with thoughtful insight and compassion and clearly outlined the steps she would take to get my unreasonably harsh conviction for a youthful indiscretion expunged. Thanks to this expungement, I have now been able to renew my passport and purchase new firearms for self-defense. These days I often think back on her highly professional, caring and effective legal counsel. I would certainly recommend her to others without reservation.
