Why It Matters

What an Old Record Can Cost You

An arrest record or disposition of a criminal offense can carry a stigma with it that will affect you in critical areas of your day to day life:

Job Applications

A record that surfaces during hiring can close a door before you ever get to explain it.

Credit Applications

Applications for credit are another point at which an old charge can follow you.

Day-to-Day Life

The same stigma reaches other critical areas of ordinary life, long after the case itself has ended.

Eligibility & Timing

New Jersey’s Expungement Statute

New Jersey’s expungement statute, found at N.J.S.A. 2C:52-32, is very specific on who is eligible for an expungement and at what point in time.

Given the complexity and detail of New Jersey’s expungement statute, it is imperative that you speak with an experienced New Jersey expungement attorney that can ensure your application is done properly.

Generally, any errors in an application for expungement result in it being dismissed.
