Expungement Lawyers In New Jersey
Expunging A Record In NJ (aka Sealing A Record)
If you have ever been denied access to a job, schooling, or a professional license as a result of a prior arrest or criminal conviction, you know how much of an obstacle a prior criminal record can be in the way of achieving your educational or career goals. Fortunately, in many circumstances, the law provides a way to have your prior criminal record “sealed” from public view.
Depending on the specific circumstances or your prior arrest and/or criminal conviction, you may be legally eligible to have your arrest and/or conviction record expunged or “sealed.”
If your criminal arrest or conviction record is expunged, the law deems that prior arrest or conviction as having never occurred.
Q: Can You Answer No To Being Ever Arrested Or Convicted In NJ?
A: If you obtain an expungement, you can truthfully respond “No” to any application that asks you the question: “Have you ever been arrested or convicted?”
Criminal arrest and/or conviction records are never automatically expunged or “sealed” in New Jersey. So if you have ever been arrested or convicted for a criminal offense, then you have a criminal record. Even if your criminal charges were outright dismissed or dismissed as a result of you successfully completing a diversionary program such as the Conditional Discharge, Conditional Dismissal, or Pre-Trial Intervention Program, the underlying criminal arrest will remain on your record unless and until you obtain an expungement.
