You didn't give much by way of the details of your situation. However, in NC, expungements of criminal records are not generally permitted. Eligible criminal records are limited to (1) a first time non-violent offense comitted more then 15 years ago, (2) a first time offense committed under the age of 18 1/2, and (3) a charge that was dismissed or disposed of as "not guilty". At this point, you may ant to consult with a local criminal law attorney. Also, here is a site that will explain things further: http://www.ncjustice.org/?q=second-chance-alliance/summary-nc-expunctions-2017
