Greenville Expungements Attorney

North Carolina Criminal Record Expungements Lawyer

One mistake or poor choice can have life-long consequences on young people and on adults. From the opportunity to get into a good college to renting an apartment to landing your dream job, an easily accessible criminal or arrest record can negatively impact every phase of life. The good news is that clearing your record may be possible through obtaining an expungement.

At my law firm, I work with students and adults who have been charged or convicted of criminal offenses. I am Neil W. Morrison, a criminal defense and appeals attorney in Greenville, North Carolina. I offer efficient, cost-effective legal representation to help my clients reduce penalties and long-term consequences of criminal charges and convictions.

Clearing Records and Opening Opportunities

To speak with me about your situation and legal expungements options, contact my office at any time to schedule an initial consultation about clearing a criminal or arrest record pertaining to:

The basic premise of expungements is that they erase the record of charges for those who have been acquitted or have had charges dismissed. Though a charge may be dismissed, the dismissal does not erase the record of an arrest. A person must pursue expungement to have the incidents eliminated from public view.

Working With Experience and Efficiency

Expungements are extraordinarily important for first-time offenders. They effectively clear an individual's record of the arrest, the charges and the dismissal so that future educational or employment opportunities are not restricted. However, expungement of records is allowed only once. In limited circumstances, a criminal conviction can be expunged. If you were under the age of 18 at the time of the conviction, you are eligible for an expungement.

For the greatest chance of success at clearing an arrest or criminal record, it is important to work with a defense attorney experienced in expungements and appeals. As such an attorney, I work to protect my clients' interests and future opportunities by standing for their rights and pursuing the most beneficial course of action.
