Can I File for a New Jersey Petition for Expungement?

http://www.ftlucianolaw.com Have you been arrested or convicted of a crime in New Jersey? You may be able to have your file expunged. Find out what this means and if you are eligible for an expungement by watching a knowledgeable New Jersey criminal defense lawyer in this video.

Having a file expunged means that it will be extracted from the general repository and isolated into a special place where limited access is provided to certain third-party entities. In order for you to qualify for an expungement in New Jersey, you must wait ten years after you are released from jail or complete your probation after a crime. If you have been convicted of a disorderly person offense, you will have to wait five years after a certain trigger date to be eligible for an expungement, and two years if you have been convicted of an ordinance. 

For help filing your petition for expungement, it is important to hire a skilled New Jersey criminal defense attorney who will support your case by showing the judge that you have not had subsequent convictions.
