EXPUNGEMENTS
People make mistakes. It's that simple. Unfortunately, mistakes come back to haunt us, especially with respect to a criminal record. Even if your case is dismissed, or you are found not guilty, the fact that you were charged with committing a crime will show up on your criminal record. That fact can negatively impact your career, education, and other significant parts of your life.
Luckily, North Carolina law provides a process called expunction to seal criminal records in certain circumstances. If your case was dismissed or you were found not guilty, that record may be able to be expunged. Contact us today for a free consultation to determine if you are eligible for an expungement in North Carolina. We will put our experience to work for you, so that maybe that mistake won't continue to haunt any longer.

ESTATE PLANNING
Estate planning is one of those things that you know you need, but you never get around to doing. It can be a daunting task that requires a lot of thought and difficult decisions. However, having a proper estate plan in place is one of the best gifts you can give your loved ones. It is important not only to have a plan in place, but to review it regularly to ensure that it continues to work for you. Each of the following documents is crucial to protect your family during your life, in the event of an emergency, and after you die:
- A Will sets out your wishes as to how your assets will be distributed after your passing. A will can provide for a trust to be set up for minor beneficiaries or where it might otherwise be useful, although assets will still go through the time, difficulty, and cost of probate.
- A Trust is a structured instrument that provides for the distribution of assets according to specific guidelines for the benefit of named beneficiaries. It allows assets to pass outside of the expensive and public probate process, can protect assets from creditors and waste, and can avoid estate taxed. A properly funded trust should be included in most estate plans.
- Kids Protection Planning ensures that your minor children are cared for in both temporary and permanent emergencies by the people you choose, without the possibility of state custody or other undesired events.
- A Durable Power of Attorney names an individual to handle your financial matters in case you become incapacitated, and can be effective immediately or only upon incapacity.
- A Health Care Power of Attorney names a person to make medical decisions if you become incapacitated.
- A Living Will sets out your desires related to life-sustaining measures.
- HIPPA Designations allow medical providers to release your medical records to specified individuals in the event you are incapacitated.
ABSOLUTE DIVORCE
It is a fact that more and more people are choosing to divorce for a variety of reasons. In many cases, there are many complex issues and the spouses will benefit from spending the money to hire an attorney who specializes in divorce and custody issues. However, it is becoming more and more common for couples to decide to separate and divorce in situations where there are no children or financial issues, where there is a separation agreement in place, or where the spouses do not wish to seek court involvement in these matters. In these situations, there is no reason to hire a costly attorney specializing in divorce. We can help you obtain a divorce quickly and effectively in a cost effective way.
