The best bet is to contact a criminal defense attorney in your state (do not do it yourself), he/she will run reports to see what is on your record, the type of charges and convictions and will determine what can and what cannot be expunged and move foward with the proceedings.
Try the North Carolina state bar, county bar or www.attorneypages.com to look for a criminal defense attorney.
