Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

You did not specify the offense involved or if it was disposed of as a juvenile matter. In New Jersey a disorderly persons, petty disorderly persons or municipal violation are not considered crimes. Special rules also apply to juvenile matters. You should speak with an attorney to guide you and also consider an expungement of your records.

We have a number of lawyers here who could assist you. Please call for an appointment if you are interested.

Disclaimer: Your question and any response given are not intended to create an attorney-client relationship. The response given is not intended to be relied upon by you or anyone else as it is based only on the limited information which you have provided. Other information is needed before advice can be given including facts which you have not supplied which may change the response to your question. You should consult with an attorney as soon as possible to assess your legal rights so as not to prejudice yourself.

To be fully honest you should put down "Yes" since you have been convicted of a violation of the New Jersey criminal code and it will show up on any background check done on you. New Jersey does not list violations of the criminal code as felonies and misdemeanors like other states do, so in my opinion any conviction under the New Jersey criminal code should be listed when answering that question on a job application.
