Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

Re: expunging or sealing criminal record

It is a bit unclear if your question relates to NJ law, MD law, or federal law.

Under NJ state law, for felonies, you cannot have the record expunged until 10 years AFTER you have completed your sentence/fine, etc. There is no provision to expunge a record before you even finish your sentence.

Your question also appears to relate to Federal law, which would be a different answer. Generally, Federal law does not provide for expungements. There are only a very few exceptions which relate to things like police misconduct and other unique situations.

I am not at all familiar with expungements under MD law.

In closing, if it is a Federal conviciton, there is probably no way to have it expunged. If a NJ state crime, you are too early at this time.

Please feel free to visit my website at expungemynjrecord.com for further information and/or feel free to contact me for a free consult.
