New Jersey Lawyers Helping You Clean Up Your Criminal Record
Criminal records sometimes affect peoples' lives in ways they never anticipated. A criminal record can limit your ability to get a good job or go to college. It can even take away your ability to vote.
When your life has been limited by your criminal record, you do have options. Working with an attorney can help wipe your record clean. At Sutnick & Sutnick, LLC, in Hackensack, New Jersey, our experienced attorneys represent people throughout Northern New Jersey and the New York City area in expungement, dismissal and sealing of cases.
New York and New Jersey use different terms and follow different rules when it comes to sealing criminal records.
- New Jersey: One of the greatest things about the New Jersey criminal justice system is that certain individuals may have a record of their arrest and/or conviction wiped completely off of their record. At Sutnick & Sutnick, LLC, we will process all of the expungement petition paperwork for you so that you may not even have to go to court at all.
- New York: Unlike New Jersey law, New York law does not allow for expungement. It does, however, allow sealing of criminal records when an outcome of a criminal case is favorable to the defendant. Many cases become favorable for sealing three years after the crime occurred, but it is best to talk with an attorney about your particular situation.
