Criminal Attorney Jersey CityClearing Your Name After a Conviction

People from all walks of life make mistakes and end up with criminal convictions. If you have paid your debt to society and have not gotten in further trouble, there is no reason to let a criminal conviction remain on your record for the rest of your life.

 

At the Law Offices of Anthony Carbone, P.C., we can help you pursue expungement of your New Jersey criminal record. Don't hesitate to contact us to schedule a free confidential consultation with experienced criminal defense lawyer Anthony Carbone.

 

Avoiding the Consequences of a Criminal History

A criminal record can have a serious long-term impact. Once you have been convicted of a crime, even if you served no jail time, your conviction is a matter of public record.

 

There is no automatic sealing of juvenile criminal records in New Jersey. Even if your only conviction is from before you turned 18, it can have negative consequences for the rest of your life.

 

If you have a criminal conviction on your record, you are required to report it on job applications, and employers may be allowed to deny you jobs based on that record. A criminal record can also affect how you are treated by the family courts if, for instance, you are seeking custody of your grandchildren.

 

Clearing Offenses From Your Record

At the Law Offices of Anthony Carbone, P.C., we have handled hundreds of criminal record expungements. Don't let a single criminal offense from a long time ago haunt you. Let attorney Anthony Carbone pursue an expungement.

 

If you have been convicted of only one crime (or only two disorderly persons offenses), you are probably eligible for expungement. You just need to wait a certain amount of time after the conviction, then file a motion with the court. If your expungement is approved, your fingerprint cards will be destroyed, and your arrest record and conviction record will be cleared.

 

In some cases, you do not even have to go to court, because the judge may sign off on your expungement without a hearing. Contact us to discuss how we can help you clean up your criminal record.
