Your Background Is an Open Book
In this age of information, a time when the most personal information is only one or two clicks of the mouse away, having a clean record is important. This age, unlike any other, has made it simple for anyone — a potential employer, a scholarship board member, a member of a licensing committee, or even a future father or mother-in-law — to see whether or not you have been charged with a crime.
Five Good Reasons for Getting an Expunction
Obtaining an expunction or expungement of your record prevents people from ever seeing that you were charged with a crime. You can freely state that your record is clean (provided you have no other convictions or charges on record) and an examination will bear out your statement. So under what circumstances should you consider expunging your record?
- If you are trying to get a new job or applying for professional licensure
- If you are applying for a scholarship or for a program at the university level
- If you are renting an apartment
- If you are trying to obtain credit
- If you wish to prevent your past from affecting your personal life
Expunction – A One-Shot Deal
Expunctions are a great way to make a fresh start, but they are not limitless. North Carolina law only allows you one expunction. If your criminal charge is the result of a single lapse in judgment or a set of circumstances beyond your control, we encourage you to speak with attorney Kerstin Walker Sutton to determine if the charge can be expunged.
If you have been arrested for a second or repeat offense, or are under investigation and fear arrest and already have a record of a criminal charge, we can advise you on the best steps to take to remove the most serious charge from your record.
When matters get too big to handle on your own, when you are facing the possibility of going to court, when you need an advocate to help you wipe the slate clean following a criminal charge, depend upon the focused assistance of The Law Office of Kerstin Walker Sutton, PLLC.
