In some situations, individuals may qualify for expungement under New Jersey law. JSD Legal can help evaluate whether a prior record may be eligible and what legal options may be available.
Expungement is a process where someone who has committed only one indictable offense in their lifetime can have their record cleared so that a criminal history does not show arrests or a conviction. An expungement can be obtained even if the defendant has a few prior disorderly person offenses. However, if there is more than one conviction on an indictable offense an expungement is not possible.
Expungement is not possible for certain types of crimes. We have listed below the New Jersey Statutes that apply to expungement. Please call us so we can discuss whether or not an expungement is available in your case. Mr. Scotto D’Aniello is a practicing New Jersey Lawyer and can help you with this matter.
Also, please note that even is you were found not guilty of an offense, or received Pre-Trial Intervention (PTI), although there is no record of conviction, there is a record of arrest. Such arrest records are subject to expungement.
