FAQs

Q: What is expungement, anyway?

Think of it like hitting the “delete” button on parts of your criminal record. Once your record is expunged, it’s like it never happened (at least in the eyes of most employers, landlords, and background checks).

Q: Can I really erase my record in New Jersey?

Yes, depending on what’s on your record. New Jersey has some pretty generous expungement laws. Arrests, disorderly persons offenses, and even some indictable crimes (yes, felonies!) can be wiped clean under the right conditions.

Q: How long do I have to wait?

That depends on what happened:

  • Arrest but no conviction? You might be eligible right away.

  • Disorderly persons offense? Usually a 2-year wait (but sometimes shorter!).

  • Indictable offense (felony)? Typically 2 years too.

  • Multiple offenses? Let’s talk — it’s case-by-case.

The good news? We’ll help figure it all out.

Q: Do I need a lawyer to do this?

Technically, no. But expungement law can get tricky fast — with lots of legal fine print and filing deadlines. Mess up the paperwork, and you’re back to square one. We make it easy, fast, and stress-free. No guesswork, no courthouse rabbit holes.

Q: How long does the whole thing take?

From the time we file, it usually takes 3–6 months (sometimes sooner, sometimes a bit longer depending on the court). But trust us — it’s worth the wait.

Q: Once it’s expunged, is it really gone?

Yep. Once your record is expunged, it’s sealed from public view. That means background checks for jobs, apartments, or schools won’t see it. You can legally say, “No, I’ve never been convicted” on most applications. 🙌
