A degree holder from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Michael Kennedy McIntyre founded the law firm Michael Kennedy McIntyre and Associates in 1985. With over three decades of experience practicing law, Michael Kennedy McIntyre is well-versed in the process of petitioning for removal of a convicted sex offender from the Georgia sex offender registry. According to the Georgia sex offender registry, two categories of crimes warrant registration, dangerous sexual offenses and criminal offenses against a minor. While having a name removed from the sex offenders list can be an uphill task, it can make a significant positive change in the life of the person affected. Specific requirements must be met for a person’s name to be removed from the sex offender registry. Persons whose sentences ended over ten years ago must be classified as Level 1 offenders to be considered for removal. Level 1 offenders are considered low-risk offenders. Level 1 offenders may provide information such as psychological evaluations, character letters, treatment records, and witness statements from local law enforcement or probation officers. After the attorney gathers all the relevant information needed, he or she then prepares and files a petition to have the offender’s name removed from the sex offender registry. A judge will then evaluate the request for removal. If the judge rules in favor and the offender is found eligible for removal, their name will be removed from the registry.
