WHAT IS AN EXPUNGEMENT IN
NEW JERSEY?
An expungement is a legal process that removes or seals criminal records from public view as if the offense never happened for most purposes.
After your record is expunged, you may be able to truthfully answer “no” when asked about whether you have a criminal record, subject to certain exceptions.
WHO QUALIFIES FOR AN EXPUNGEMENT?
Many indictable (felony) and disorderly persons (misdemeanor) offenses can be expunged after a waiting period with no new convictions. Contact Axel Law today to find out if you are eligible for an expungement.
BENEFITS OF EXPUNGEMENT
Clearing your record can help you:
• Pass background checks for employment or housing
• Restore eligibility for certain licenses or careers
• Move forward without stigma or worry
An expungement is often the final step toward a true second chance.
