Expungement of Records Can Free You from the Past
If you have ever been charged with a criminal offense, that charge is part of your permanent record, even if it was ultimately dismissed. It is there for potential employers to see and could hinder employment opportunities and cause other problems. With the help of Sawyer Law, an expungement of records can clear your criminal record of past charges to help you make a real fresh start.
Expungement Laws in NC Have Changed
An expungement (also called expunction) is a process that "seals" or erases a criminal charge in the eyes of the law. In the past, only one expungement was allowed in a lifetime. Recent changes in North Carolina law have made it possible to have multiple offenses expunged. However, there are limiting factors. Call Sawyer Law today at 336-274-5552 to see if you are a good candidate for this process. The initial consultation with an experienced lawyer is FREE, and our fees for this process are incredibly reasonable.
A Blemished Criminal Record Causes Problems
We all make mistakes occasionally, but hopefully, we learn from them. And sometimes you can be charged with a crime even if you are totally innocent! Sure, the charges might be dismissed, but the fact that you were charged lingers on your record. It might be a shoplifting charge you faced years ago that was dismissed because the court agreed that you were innocent. Perhaps it's an assault charge an acquaintance brought against you when he was angry but then asked the court to drop. Whatever it is, it can cause problems even though it was dismissed. Employers, landlords, universities, and others sometimes want a look at your criminal record. You might not even be aware that the reason you did not get the last few jobs you applied for was that your criminal record was blemished and cast a cloud of doubt that made those potential employers look at the next candidate rather than take a chance on you. An expungement of records can help clear things up. Call Sawyer Law for a FREE consultation at 336-274-5552.
Free Yourself from the Past for Good!
Having a clear record for potential employers, landlords, and others can be extremely important to your future. With many looking to improve their situation once these difficult times are behind us, you don't want something from your past clouding your future. Even if the charges on your record were dismissed without a trial or you were found not guilty by the court, they will still be on your criminal record, creating uncertainty that may disturb people who do not know you well. They will wonder why you were charged and why the charges were dismissed. They might think you worked a deal or had friends in high places. For them to assume you were totally innocent is unlikely, even if that is true. Why worry about this if you can clear the record for good?
