Charlotte, NC Expunctions Attorney

Clearing Criminal Records
Have you ever been arrested for a criminal offense?

If you have, then you are also aware that many prospective employers and landlords ask the question above. Even without a conviction, a record of your arrest or criminal charge can limit your job prospects and prevent you from renting a decent place. If this scenario sounds familiar, contact The Hatcher Law Office, PLLC. Their criminal defense attorneys have the knowledge and experience to guide you through the expunction process. Call them today to begin the process of cleaning up your criminal record.

Who is eligible for an expunction?

In order to have your criminal record expunged, you must meet a few requirements. If you were found not guilty, or the charges were dismissed for various reasons, such as

• Lack of probable cause
• Mistake
• False information
• Lack of evidence

You may be eligible.

Why get an expunction?

In order to obtain certain jobs--in schools, for instance--you need a clean criminal record. Some landlords will also do a criminal background check on prospective tenants. When they look at the record and see "criminal charges," they usually do not notice the small initials at the bottom that indicate that the charge was dismissed. Therefore, they see the prospect as guilty even though he or she was not convicted. With an expungement, a prospect gets a truly clean slate.

If you are interested in clearing your criminal record, call The Hatcher Law Office, PLLC for an assessment of your case.
