Union county nc felony conviction records

These are my only two actual convictions however I have multiple misdemeanor & felon charges that were dismissed before my felony convictions. I was convicted of Felon Cheat Property/Services on Februand Felon Possession of Stolen Goods on April 10, 2012. I was told I can apply for an expungement and have it removed completely but the attorney told me the law changed for NC and basically IвЂ™m not eligible because of my age but researching websites and other material, I believe I am eligible. The court date for those are in March, the attorney told me to go to court ask them to dismiss them and pay the fine for them.

No one has ever mentioned these charges and I have gone through several other background checks and I never knew or heard anything about them. Also when I went to the magistrates office, he stated that I had 2 other charges for worthless checks from 20 that I honestly had no clue and still donвЂ™t have a clue about. I am so very concerned about this reflecting on my background check and having issues in the future. The attorney states he is very confident this case will be dismissed. I was told to go to the magistrates office early Monday morning. No police were involved and I wasnвЂ™t arrested because they said I cooperated. The problem with this being on anyone's records is that it affects employment opportunities among other issues. If this offense if beyond all redemption than all people who get charged with this one time and one time only need to be charged a felons with no hope of ever excusing one mistake. I believe it this is an non-expungable offense it needs to be placed up there right with major felonies as it is one of few that is a lifelong sentence. I watched an NC murder trial, and the defendant who stabbed his wife 123 times got more respect from the judge than I received. The nastiness continued throughout the process, and I find this inexcusable. From the inception of a DWI I had the arresting officer lie on my report. One thing I have to say about this offense is that the justice system treats people charged of this in a very harsh manner that is not necessary.

I am trying to pull together information and put together a letter for the governor about this issue. I had a DWI conviction over 30 years ago, and I find it a bit absurd that these offenses should stay with someone for their lifetime since much more serious offenses are available for expungement.
