Protecting North Carolina Clients' Futures through Expungement and Expunction
If you were convicted of a crime in North Carolina, you know all too well the consequences that come with a criminal record. Nearly every job application you fill out will ask if you have been convicted of a crime. It can be difficult to rent an apartment. And even student loans can be a problem. Expungement, or expunction, may be an option for you to remove the crime from your record and clear your name.
At The Oring Law Firm, I have more than 10 years of experience with North Carolina's expungement process. I will give you my honest opinion about your situation and work hard to have the conviction removed from your record.

Leaving Past Convictions in the Past
The expungement process is complex and difficult, but it is not impossible. As an experienced attorney, I have helped many clients clear their records and move forward without the stress associated with criminal convictions. It is not always possible to have a crime expunged. However, North Carolina laws do allow for expungement in certain situations:
- Juvenile misdemeanors – If you were convicted of a crime as a juvenile, I may be able to help you have the crime removed from your adult record.
- Identity theft – When someone commits a crime under your name, that crime should not taint your record.
- Not guilty verdicts – Good people are often charged with crimes they did not commit. If you are able to prove that you are not guilty, I will work diligently to have the charge expunged.
Strict expungement laws make it difficult to have convictions removed from criminal records. An experienced lawyer can explain your options and protect your rights. If you believe a crime should be expunged from your record in the Wilmington area, call 910-763-9925 or contact me online to schedule a free consultation.
