“Grace and redemption are key components of any just society. In North Carolina, one out of every five people have a criminal record. One criminal charge, even when ultimately dismissed or found not guilty, can start a cycle of poverty and hardship that have lasting impacts on the person charged, their family, and their entire community.  By clearing dismissed and not guilty charges through expungement and restoring driver’s licenses, we can help our neighbors get back to work, find housing, and take care of their families. Everyone deserves grace and a fair chance, and we are committed to helping all North Carolinians reach their full potential.“

~ Chief Justice Cheri Beasley, Supreme Court of North Carolina
