Determining Your Expungement Eligibility with Our Gloucester County Expungement Lawyer

If you are not sure whether you are eligible for an expungement, the best course of action is to speak with our criminal record expungement lawyer in Washington Township, NJ. There is a great deal of free educational material available online that can help you, but there are exceptions to every rule, and expungement laws can change over time. Furthermore, not all printed or online resources will be up to date, and filing a petition with the incorrect paperwork, at the incorrect agencies, or in the incorrect jurisdictions can lead to a denied petition.

A Step-By-Step Guide to Filing for an Expungement with the Assistance of a Licensed Criminal Record Expungement Lawyer in Washington Township, NJ

Our comprehensive process for clearing criminal records in New Jersey is outlined below.

1. Obtain a copy of your criminal records. The information contained in these records will be used to fill out your expungement paperwork.  You can obtain it in person at the court, or you can do so online using the request form provided by the New Jersey Courts. Be sure to obtain all records, even out-of-state records because irrespective of where your arrests occurred, you must include them in your expungement petition. Failure to do so will mean that either you or your lawyer will need to re-file your expungement petition.
2. Complete your expungement paperwork, which includes a cover letter stating that you are applying for an expungement, a verified petition with details of relevant arrests, a proposed order for hearing, and a proposed expungement order that the presiding judge will fill out and either grant or refuse your expungement.
3. File your paperwork with the court, which will be the Superior Court in the county where your arrest occurred, along with the filing fee of $75 via certified check made out to the Treasurer, State of New Jersey.
4. Once you receive notice of when your hearing will be, you must send a copy of the notice to the New Jersey Attorney General, the Expungement Unit of the New Jersey State Police, the County Prosecutor, and the relevant courts and police departments or law enforcement agencies involved in your arrest. Various correctional institutions and family offices (for juvenile crimes) may also be included here.
5. Submit a Proof of Notice with the court to show that you have notified all applicable agencies of your request for an expungement.
6. Attend your hearing, if required, and receive your Expungement Order (in person if in court, and via mail if your attendance at your hearing is not required).
7. Finally, you must serve your Expungement Order to the agencies listed in Step 4. Once you do this, you should receive a final confirmation of the acceptance of your request (if it was accepted) from the New Jersey State Police, and all the relevant agencies will extract or isolate your records from their databases.
