Push the Delete Button with an Expunction
Background checks turn up past North Carolina criminal charges, even if the charges have been dismissed. You may be able to clear up your record through an expunction, even if the charge resulted in a conviction. All records related to the charge are erased when your charges are expunged.
An expunction is a legal petition to erase the record of your prior North Carolina charge. There are different kinds of expunctions for different cases. Factors to consider include the type of charge, whether the charge was a felony or a misdemeanor, your age at the time of the offense, and whether the charge resulted in a conviction or a dismissal. If you have charges on your background, you should talk to an attorney about getting the charges expunged.
