Find Out If You Are Eligible to Clean Your Criminal Record

It’s a specific and frequently confusing process that takes time to complete. You may or may not be eligible. Consequently, before you get going and spend money, why not get some basic info first? Furthermore, North Carolina may soon allow more offenses to me removed using the Second Chance Act expungement.

NC Senate Bill 301 Expungement NC

A North Carolina Senate committee has advanced a bill that would allow more offenses to be removed from a person’s state criminal record.

Current law allows people to seek expungement for more than one nonviolent misdemeanor or for one nonviolent felony, with some exceptions. Senate Bill 301 would allow more felonies to qualify for expungement.

“Oftentimes in practices, what you would see is that someone that gets a felony normally, it’s not one isolated felony,” said Sen. Danny Earl Britt Jr., R-Columbus. “Oftentimes, it’s a patch that they’re going through. Maybe they have one felony and have a second felony three or four years later. Now they can’t get either felony off their record, even if it’s been 20-25 years later.”

Remove a Second Nonviolent Crime With SB 301

SB 301 would allow a person to petition the court to remove a second, nonviolent crime off their record once 20 years have passed since the conviction or sentence completion. Therefore, it would change vehicle burglary’s classification from a violent felony to a nonviolent felony, making it eligible for expungement.

“[Sen.] Kevin Corbin has a good constituent in his district … who was convicted of [burglary] of a motor vehicle when he was 19 years old,” Britt said. “He’s a Rotarian and a business owner has not been charged with or convicted of anything since he was 19, but since that [burglary] of a motor vehicle is classified as a violent offense, that individual, who’s now 42 years old, cannot get that expunction from a crime that was committed when he was 19.”

SB 301 Expands North Carolina Second Chance Act

The General Assembly passed and Gov. Roy Cooper signed the Second Chance Act in June. It allows certain juveniles to have offenses removed from their records and made it easier for adults to seek expungement. The bill received unanimous bipartisan support. Supporters of the Second Chance Act said it would remove economic barriers for about 800,000 people. Therefore, SB 301 expands the reforms in the measure.

The law now allows only a prosecutor or the offender to petition the court to expunge a juvenile’s record. SB 301 also would let a private or court-appointed attorney file the petition.

SB 301 received a favorable vote Tuesday from Senate Committee on Judiciary. The provisions in the bill take effect Dec. 1.  Via The Center Square

What Our Clients Are Saying:

“Four years of college was not only hard work, but expensive and put me and my family into debt. I was not even convicted- only arrested back when I was in high school. I felt destroyed and lost hope when they told me I couldn’t take the certification exam. The North Carolina Expungement attorneys at James Barrett Wilson and Associates cleared the way with an expungement.” – Gordon from Raleigh, NC
“I really needed help to clear my name. Studied up on the internet and tried it myself and had no clue. It was confusing, man. All I can say is I got my rights to own firearms back. Now I can hunt again with friends and family, but also defend my home. Didn’t cost much too.” – John from Swan Quarter, NC
“Everyone at North Carolina Expungements were great. I now have my clean record back. My attorney moved quickly and professionally. They also explained it to me so I understood. That made me less unsure. I wish I had done it earlier. It affected life for too long. I would recommend on a high level.” – Marcellus from Durham, NC
“There was a domestic charge which I didn’t do was on my record. My children’s father came over and pushed me around instead. But I got arrested! This and something else stupid I did when I was a teen prevented me and my kids a good place to live. Both are now gone off my record and we are now out of my parent’s house. Thank you it has made a happy difference now. It’s a new life.” – Jelinda from Charlotte, NC
 “I can apply for a job now. It’s like the weight of the world has been lifted.” – Josh from Fayetteville, NC
“Something that happened long ago held me back from volunteering at my kid’s school and being a regular mom. Now I can be much more involved in their lives. And I didn’t even have to show up in court.” – Imelda from Greenville, NC
“I tried numerous free clinics and was even told by the court there was no way. So I would like to thank North Carolina Expungements for everything. Glad to finally get all of this taken care of. I recently got laid off and now I can look for another job without all the worry about this popping up again. Huge difference.” – Anne from Winston-Salem, NC
