When you have charges on your record that you want eliminated, we can help you get those charges expunged if that is a viable option. In the alternative, a pardon can be pursued that will restore your civil rights. However currently in South Carolina a pardon does not eliminate the conviction from your criminal record or rap sheet. The conviction is marked as pardoned.
