Questions clients often ask
Eligibility is individualized
North Carolina has multiple expunction laws. Eligibility can depend on the charge, outcome, age at the time, other convictions, and waiting requirements. It is important to review the entire record before choosing a petition.
Is a dismissal automatically removed?
Do not assume the public record has disappeared merely because a charge was dismissed. The available relief and procedure depend on the record and applicable law.
What records should I gather?
Case numbers, counties, dispositions, and dates are a good starting point. Renee can help identify missing information needed for an eligibility review.
Where can I read the current rules?
The North Carolina Judicial Branch expunction guide lists the governing statutes and court forms. A lawyer can help determine which, if any, apply to you.
