Expungement Can Lead To A Clean Slate

At Burts Law, we understand that having a criminal arrest record in Charlotte or anywhere in North Carolina can cause long-lasting consequences for an individual in a wide variety of areas, ranging from difficulty finding employment to restrictions on possible living arrangement. Thus, many people who have been arrested for a crime yet never convicted may seek the expungement of their records in order to ensure that past mistakes do not continue to affect their lives.

Expunction is not a simple process to successfully undertake. From understanding under what circumstances an expunction is possible to undergo the process of suing each governmental agency that may have a record of the individual’s arrest, getting a criminal arrest record expunged can be frustrating and difficult for an individual person. As such, many people seek the assistance of a diligent lawyer to help them successfully obtain an expunction of their arrest records.

When Is Expungement An Option?

While expungement is only available in a limited number of circumstances, the most common situations where individuals are able to seek expunctions involve:

  • Dismissed cases
  • Acquittals
  • Successfully completed deferred prosecution
  • Criminal adjudications that are 15 years old
  • Certain drug convictions

Additionally, in those situations where an expunction of records is not an option, it may be possible to seek a certificate of relief.
