Who Qualifies?
Anyone that has been convicted of a non-violent misdemeanor or felony likely qualifies for an expungement. Keep in mind that there is a five-year waiting period for any misdemeanor convictions and a ten-year waiting period for any felony convictions. If your record includes other convictions, you may not qualify for the process; however, a separate legal option--known as a Motion for Appropriate Relief (MAR)--also has the potential to expunge convictions. Call now for more information.
Do I Need an Attorney For Expungement?
The short and technical answer is no. However, as stated by North Carolina’s Judicial Branch, “An attorney can help you by assessing your eligibility, making sure you include all necessary documents, guiding you through the process, and representing you in a hearing if needed." In other words, having an attorney on your side is the best way to ensure the accuracy, expedience, and success of your expungement.
Expungement law can be overwhelming, and not everyone qualifies for the process. A skilled and experienced expungement attorney will be able to tell you if you are eligible and will ensure that you have the information you need to move forward. For further qualification information, visit the North Carolina Judicial Branch website. There, you’ll find an overview of who qualifies and the steps you need to take.
