Erasing Your Criminal Record

A criminal arrest or conviction creates a permanent criminal history for you. Records of your arrest — even if you are acquitted or charges dropped — can be viewed by the public. When you are asked if you were arrested for a crime on a job application or apartment lease, you will have to answer yes.

For people who are eligible for expungement, removal of an arrest and/or conviction provide obvious dividends. Expunging your record will seal complaints, arrests, warrants, convictions and arrest reports from the public. Our law firm can help you with:

Not all crimes can be expunged. Whether or not you are eligible for expungement will depend on factors such as the nature of the offense and the length of time that has passed. If your crime is eligible for expungement, you may need to apply to as many as 12 government departments in New Jersey in order to fully expunge your record.
