At Katherine O’Brien Law, our New Jersey expungement lawyers understand how important it is to have a clean criminal history. Our expungement lawyers are prepared to work with you in expunging your record so that it no longer comes up on a background check.
Expunge Definition
In New Jersey, if you have been charged with a criminal offense, you may be able to have that record expunged. Expungement means that the criminal record will be “extracted and isolated.” Expungement does not literally destroy or erase your criminal records. Instead, your records will be segregated and made not generally available to the public.
This means that any courts, police departments, or other agencies that have your records, will be required to move your expunged records to an isolated location. The records that will be expunged include your fingerprints, photographs, complaints, warrants, and other processing records.
After expungement, your arrest and/or conviction information will no longer be publicly available. Thus, employers, landlords, creditors, and any others conducting criminal background checks will not be able to view the expunged records. Instead, they would receive a message of “no record” in response to a search.
