Re: expundgement
Depending upon what sentence you were given, you may be eligible to apply for an expungement. The basic law says that you have to wait ten years after the completion of your sentence before you can apply for one. So, for example, if you were given a two year jail or probation sentence, then you are eligible to apply now. However, if your sentence was longer than two years, you will have to wait. I would need to discuss your case with you in more detail before I could give you a definite answer about your expungement. Please contact me at your convenience. I never charge for simply talking to people about their cases. Thank you.

You need to get an expungement. While you could do this yourself, many find it very difficult and it is much easier to just have an attorney do it all for you. We do these all of the time and it usually does not require any court apperances. Call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your situation. My initial consultations are always free.

Re: expundgement
Ten years after the last event related to a criminal conviction a petition for expungement of same can be filed with the Superior Court of New Jersey in the county where the conviction was recorded.
The events related to a criminal conviction are
service of a jail sentence, completion of probation and payment of any fine. Only after all of these events are completed can a petition for expungement be filed with the Court.
An expungement order does not erase records of a criminal conviction; it prohibits the courts and the police from releasing information advising of a criminal conviction to the public and authorizes the defendant to tell the world that he has not been convicted of committing a criminal offense. The Order is sent to the New Jersey State Police who serve the Order on the F.B.I which complies with the Order.
Call me if you like.
