New Jersey Expungement Lawyer

Are you eligible for expungement of your criminal record?

Having a criminal record for cocaine possession, distribution or trafficking can be a burden that follows you around for years, affecting many important areas of your life. You may have made just one mistake and faithfully carried out the requirements of your sentence, only to have your conviction still damage your future opportunities. Expungement is a legal procedure in New Jersey that allows you to free yourself of the past and start life anew. If your criminal record is expunged, your past offense (or offenses) are segregated from police and federal databases that are utilized for background checks. Although the record is not destroyed, New Jersey State Police, New Jersey court, and FBI searches will come back as "No record information."

Having a criminal record puts you at a serious disadvantage. Employment and educational opportunities or the chance to rent an apartment can all be adversely affected by your record. The laws in New Jersey governing expungement are very specific as to eligibility. At the Law Offices of Allan Marain, an experienced and knowledgeable New Jersey drug crime attorney is ready to meet with you to see if you are eligible to have your record expunged and to explain what it will take to achieve this.
