You should be eligible for an expungement, especially if you have been a law abiding citizen after getting into trouble. The expungment will have to be filed in the county in which the charges were picked up. If your charges were in Guilford or Alamance county NC, give me a call. 336 447 4505... Read Answer

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....

Some states will not allow you to get a prior case expunged if you have a case currently pending.  In that regard, it would be wise to take care of the current case.  Once that is resolved, then you may be able to expunge the dismissed felony.  You should contact an attorney licensed in North Carolina for more information.  You can also follow the links below to learn more about the process. http://www.ncexpungement.com/ http://fayobserver.com/articles/2012/07/18/1190241?sac=fo.local   Simon W.

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 Answer

Can 2 Felony DUI convictions be expunged?

Answered 15 years and 5 months ago by Locke T. Clifford (Unclaimed Profile)   |   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.
