Expungement of Criminal Records in Atlantic County, NJ: Start Fresh with the Help of an Experienced Attorney
If you have a criminal record, it’s crucial to understand how it can affect your life. A criminal record can prevent you from getting a job, buying a house, or even volunteering at your child’s school. Fortunately, expungement is an option that allows you to seal your records and move forward without the stigma of a past mistake.
At the Law Offices of Todd Spodek, we are dedicated to helping our clients obtain expungements for New Jersey arrests and convictions. Our team of skilled attorneys has successfully obtained thousands of expungements for individuals who have been convicted of various offenses, including indictable offenses, disorderly persons offenses, and diversionary programs.
Disorderly Persons Offenses: You May Be Eligible for Expungement
If you have been convicted of up to three disorderly persons offenses in Atlantic County, NJ, you may be eligible for expungement. However, there are some conditions that must be met before the court can grant an expungement:
– You must wait for at least five years after completing your probationary period or sentence before applying.
– You cannot have been convicted of more than three disorderly persons offenses.
– You cannot have been convicted of an indictable offense before or after being convicted of the disorderly persons offense(s).
– You must notify the court of all prior or subsequent offenses in writing within the petition for expungement.
Indictable Offenses: More Difficult but Not Impossible
Expungement of an indictable offense is more challenging than expunging a disorderly persons offense but not impossible. Not all indictable offenses are available for expungement in Atlantic County, NJ – crimes involving distribution, possession with intent to distribute/trade/traffic drugs are typically not expungeable. The removal and sealing process become more complicated when there are two or more indictable offenses on an individual’s record. Some crimes, such as murder, arson, treason, aggravated sexual assault, and distribution of a controlled substance can never be expunged.
Expungement of PTI/Conditional Discharge/Conditional Dismissal: Eligible Six Months After Completion
If you have completed the Pre-Trial Intervention program or received a conditional discharge/conditional dismissal in Atlantic County, NJ, you will be eligible for an expungement six months after completing your probationary period. Typically that may be between six months to one year. The period for this process depends on the specific terms of the diversionary program.
