Re: Subject
Your record is open to the public. If an employer were to check , they would find out you had a felony record. If you get caught lying about this, under New Jersey law, that could be grounds for firing you. Ten years after the completion of your sentence you can move to expunge (clear) your record, but you haven't reached that point yet. If you have any questions, please b=give me a call at 908-272-0111. Thank you.
