Re: Expungment procedure

There is an extensive filing procedure where you must notify certain entities and parties as to your request for an expungmement. Some court's require a hearing for an expungement, but most expungements can be completed wtihout an appearance. I recommend you seek assistance from an attorney to file the expungement on your behalf. Feel free to email to discuss in more detail.

Re: Expungment procedure

A disorderly persons offense conviction can be expunged five years after the fine is paid, the sentence (if any) is served and probation (if any ) is completed.

A petiton for expungement must be filed

in Superior Court.

I charge $1,100 which includes approximately $100 in fliing fees and postage expenses.

Call me if you like.
