For South Carolina residents with a criminal record, expungement offers the opportunity to start fresh. Expungement removes eligible charges or convictions from your record, making it easier to find employment, secure housing, and move forward in life.

Under South Carolina law, certain offenses, including first-time misdemeanors and charges dismissed in court, may qualify for expungement. For example, a young professional in Charleston might face barriers after a dismissed theft charge appears on background checks. Expungement clears that record, allowing them to rebuild their future.
