Are you sure your license isn't currently suspended? The DMV usually suspends for failure to comply with court-ordered fines, or for failure to be reinstated from your DWI conviction (which would include the county you were convicted in confirming to DMV that you had paid all ordered fines).
How do i go about having a dui charge from 2008 removed from record, background check? And also a charge that Im not sure if its on my record or not, but child neglect/abuse that i was never convicted of through court, but had to sign a paper for department of social services when me and my child...

You cannot expunge a DWI conviction from your NC criminal record. You used to be able to, but the expungement law was changed as of December 1, 2015. Hopefully, the legislature will revisit the law and revise it one day.
I have not been in anymore trouble since this

As of December 1, 2015, DWI convictions are no longer able to be expunged under NC law. Hopefully the legislature revisits this, and revises the law, but until that day, you will not be able to expunge your DWI at all.

You got your DWI dropped down to Improper Equipment?!
If this is indeed the case, this is a new one...as a general rule, reductions are what show up on your driving record and public/criminal record.

We have kids together could that stop the deportation
answered on Dec 5, 2017
Getting married will not stop the ICE hold and deportation proceedings.
The officer didn't fill in the license number or license expiration since there is no license on the car. I'm not ever going to drive it again. Do I have to pay the ticket? I'm also going to be selling the car soon, but I would like to know if I had to pay it if I kept the car and... View More

I guess that's going to depend on what kind of information the officer recorded on your parking ticket.
My car was totaled and no longer drive-able, I was told if I could produce a document from my car insurance saying they paid damages for the other car, I might be able to get out of this, is that a possibility?
answered on Dec 5, 2017
Yes, that's possible. Contact your insurance company and ask them for a letter stating that they are taking financial responsibility for the property damage. The State will likely dismiss the case against you once you produce that letter at your court date.
This is my first traffic offense so what can I expect to happen in terms of fines and consequences? What are the best actions to take? I am 18 years old and in college.
answered on Nov 27, 2017
The best action you can take is to hire an experienced traffic attorney in the county where you were charged to handle this for you. If you've never had a ticket before, you should be able to get a great result that won't result in your car insurance rates going up.
answered on Nov 27, 2017
You should be able to get a letter from your insurance company to state that they are taking financial responsibility, and should be able to get the case dismissed.
I would like to find out the process to get my record expunged after the new law for expungement starts. Also do I have to hire a lawyer from the county the charge occurred?
Thanks, Heather
answered on Nov 27, 2017
It is recommended to contact an attorney in the county where you were charged, but it is not mandatory. This is because that attorney would have to file your expungement at the clerk's office in the county where you were charged. It also isn't clear from your question if you were... View More
When I was 16 I got into a lot of trouble. The court system waited until I was an adult to fully convict me of a misdemeanor marijuana possession (1/2 > 1 & 1/2 oz) and now it's causing damage to my adult life. Is there any way to put these charges onto my juvenile record so that they... View More

There is no other way in NC to remove charges from your criminal record other than expungement. $4000 is a lot for an expungement of this type. I would keep calling around for quotes.
The court house in the county this happened told my VA rep I can have it expunged. Sent me all the paperwork, does this sound fishy? other than this my driving record and criminal record are clean.
answered on Nov 22, 2017
Sounds like they sent you the expungement forms. Not fishy. You will also need to order a copy of your criminal record from that county. If you were convicted, you will also need some affidavits from others not related to you to testify as to your good moral character, and an affidavit from... View More
Does the other person have to be there to drop the charges on the individual?
answered on Nov 22, 2017
Sounds like you sought out a private warrant against someone else. Generally, once you do that, it's no longer up to you to "drop" the charges against that person: it is within the discretion of the District Attorney's Office if they will dismiss the case.
Is the online calendar wrong do they take their time updating it. I haven't heard anything from my lawyer.
What do i have to do at this point to get my licence back. I living in nc.
answered on Nov 22, 2017
If you've completed ALL of the obligations you were sentenced to in both 2006 and 2007 (meaning: you obtained a DWI assessment for BOTH cases, completed ALL recommended treatment, completed all ordered community service, paid ALL ordered fines and court costs), you will have to pay NC DMV a...

answered on Nov 22, 2017
Contact a local attorney in the county where you were charged; I'm sure you'll find a competitively priced solution.
answered on Nov 22, 2017
Yes, violation of sections under N.C.G.S. §20-154 are moving violations, so both driver's license and insurance points are applicable.
