Expungement

If you have been arrested or convicted of a criminal offense, you may be eligible to have your record expunged. If you were arrested and the charges were dismissed administratively or after completing a diversionary program such as, Pre-Trial Intervention (PTI) or conditional discharge, your arrest will remain on your record unless you have it expunged. Likewise, if you were convicted of a criminal offense, your conviction will remain on your record unless you have it expunged.

By expunging your record, all records on file with any court, detention or correctional facility, law enforcement or criminal justice agency concerning your detection, apprehension, arrest, detention, trial or disposition of an offense within the criminal justice system will be extracted and isolated. Thus, if someone other than law enforcement checks your criminal history, they will not be told of your arrest or conviction. Stephen S. Weinstein, P.C. has been assisting individuals with expunging their records since 1979, the date the expungement statute was enacted.
