Expungement Attorneys in Raleigh & Asheville North Carolina
Even if a criminal charge filed against you is dismissed, it can still have an impact on your future if allowed to remain on your record. You should want to clean your record, clear your good name and restore your reputation. You can also improve your chances of obtaining gainful employment, furthering your education and acquiring dignified housing.
This legal action is accomplished by a method called expungement. In North Carolina, charges that have been dismissed or where the defendant was found not guilty are generally eligible for an expungement. Certain previous convictions can also be expunged after a lengthy waiting period. Talk to our lawyers to determine if you are eligible.
You may have had a criminal charge dismissed, but it still shows up when a criminal record check is run. That charge may need to be expunged but tread carefully – you only get to do this once. Talk to our attorneys for free before you make a decision.
