Expungements
Is an Arrest or Criminal Record Holding You Back?
An Expungement Could Help You Move Forward
We all make mistakes—especially when young. But past arrests or convictions shouldn’t define your future. Expungement (in some states) or record sealing (in others) lets you legally clear your record from public view—so you can get jobs, housing, or professional licenses without past mistakes holding you back.
How It Works, Simply
These legal processes remove your arrest or conviction from most public-facing records.
Once granted, you can usually lawfully say you’ve never been convicted.
While laws vary across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, many minor offenses become eligible after a waiting period, and even multiple offenses may qualify under newer reforms .
Why It Matters
✅ Allows you to pass background checks for jobs, housing, school, and licenses
✅ Helps restore peace of mind and privacy
✅ Removes stigma and opens new opportunities
Why You Should Talk to an Attorney
Eligibility depends on many factors—type of offense, timing, and state laws—so it's not always straightforward.
