Granddaughter 16 shop lifting

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by Mr. Ronald James Shook II (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Expungements
The answer to your question is very dependent on the county in which she was charged.  Some counties are much more lenient than others.  In my home county of Gaston, a first offense misdemeanor larceny will usually be dismissed if the defendant completes some amount of community service.  Having an attorney in this type of situation is very important because this is a discretionary decision on the prosecutor's part as to whether or not to drop the charge.  Hiring an attorney could help prevent her from having a mar on her record until she's 18 years old....

In 2007, my husband was found not guilty of statutory rape and indicent liberties with a minor. Can this be expunged from his record?

Answered 13 years and 7 months ago by Mr. Ronald James Shook II (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Expungements
So long as your husband was not convicted of these offenses (including a not guilty verdict), he should be eligible for an expungement.  Expungements where the defendant was found not guilty are covered by North Carolina General Statute 15A-146.  Link: http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bysection/chapter_15a/gs_15a-146.html If you think that you can work your way through the statute yourself, the expungement forms are available here: http://www.nccourts.org/Forms/FormSearch.asp I recommend that you hire a lawyer for this, because the paperwork can get very complicated. It shouldn't cost to much for you to have it done. Lawyers my area (Charlotte) charge between $500 and $800 depending on the case.... Read More

Can 2 Felony DUI convictions be expunged?

Answered 15 years and 2 months ago by attorney Locke T. Clifford   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Expungements
An expunction is done in the state where the charge occurred. You would need to consult an attorney there to find out what could be expunged. NC has no provision for expunction of a felony conviction and in NC a felony conviction keeps you from getting a misdemeanor expunged.
