New Jersey Expungement Attorney

The only way to clear an individual’s criminal record is by petition for an expungement order granted by state courts in New Jersey.

Our law office’s noted criminal defense attorney Savyon Grant has 15 years of experience in this field. If your situation qualifies according to state guidelines, we can help pinpoint criminal records from various files in courts and law enforcement agencies, and ultimately clear your criminal record. You should contact us as soon as possible.

Misconceptions about Expungement

An individual’s criminal record may contain warrants, arrest reports, criminal history, fingerprints, and mug shots. Simply because charges from a previous case against you may have been dropped or the penalties called for in your sentencing have been served doesn’t mean that you have a clean criminal record. Having paid one’s debt to society doesn’t always mean that society has forgotten. And even if you were acquitted of charges that stemmed from your arrest, that arrest can stay on your record.

Doing Your Part

Before you consider expungement, you should know that maintaining a clean record is up to you. If ever asked following expungement whether you have a criminal record, you would be accurate in citing the absence of convictions. But the ball’s then in your court to stay out of trouble and keep your record clean. We advise clients to make the most of the single opportunity the state of New Jersey affords to clear your record.

Petitions for expungement can be delayed in making their way through our justice system. For instance, there may be a considerable waiting period before your eligibility is established. To expedite matters, it would be helpful, during your free initial consultation at our New Jersey law offices for you to bring every record you can find relating to your arrest, including court papers and documents having to do with your probation or any diversionary treatment programs you may have been involved in.

This quick FYI: a variety of criminal convictions (felonies, misdemeanors, or ordinance convictions) can be subject to expungement. Motor vehicle violations, traffic citations, and DWI/DUI convictions cannot.
