Passaic County NJ Expungement Lawyer
A blemish on your record even a lapse in judgment that occurred long ago can have negative consequences for years to come. What most people don t understand is that, even if you were charged with a criminal offense and the charge was later dismissed, the arrest and original charge will still continue appear on your record. The fact that you have a criminal record might mean that you are disqualified for a job, prevented from coaching a youth sports team, or denied the right to adopt a child.
Thankfully, the Superior Court has the authority to expunge the record of a criminal arrest and/or subsequent conviction that occurred in the State of New Jersey, meaning that the arrest and/or subsequent conviction is deemed (in the eyes of the law) to never have happened. Once the record is expunged, a criminal background check will be clean. At that point, you can legally respond to any inquiry about having been arrested, charged or convicted with a crime or disorderly person offense, with a No. (The ONLY exceptions are applications for a job as a law enforcement officer or in the judicial branch of government.)
