Do You Qualify?

The law does not allow everyone who was convicted of a crime or a disorderly person offense to expunge his or her criminal record. However, it's likely that you will qualify for an expungement under New Jersey statutes if:

• The charges against you were dismissed
• You successfully completed a pre-trial intervention program (PTI)
• You successfully completed a conditional discharge program (for a drug offense) and have not been rearrested
• Municipal ordinance violation: You were convicted more than two years ago
• Disorderly persons offense: You have three or fewer DPs and were convicted more than five years ago and have completed required probation and paid all fines
• Indictable crimes in Superior Court: You had only one felony conviction, which occurred more than five years from your guilty plea as long as you paid all fines and completed your sentence, probation, community service, drug testing, etc., and the felony you committed is not one of those specifically listed in the statute as non-qualifying

There are additional disqualifying factors and with recent changes in New Jersey's expungement statute, it can be difficult to understand whether your case actually qualifies for expungement. You will need to talk with a lawyer who can look at the specific facts of your case.

Record Sealing

When a record is sealed, it is unavailable for public review. The record still exists but it will not be made public. However, local and federal law enforcement can see all the events on a criminal record.

If you qualify, sealing your criminal record or expunging criminal charges can make a significant difference in your life. Contact a New Jersey criminal law attorney to seal your criminal record. Call 732-812-4398 Toll Free : 800-724-0622 for a free initial phone consultation to learn more.
