SPEAKERS: Kenneth Vercammen, Esq. & Allan Marain, Esq.
(Ken V Author- Criminal Law Forms by the American Bar Association)
The NJ statute on expungement was revised in a law signed 12/18/19. If someone has been arrested or even had a private criminal complaint signed against them in the Municipal Court, they have a criminal record, even if the charges were dismissed or received a Conditional Discharge. Under NJ Law past criminal arrests and convictions can be expunged/ erased easier under certain instances. This program will discuss the expungement process. Allan Marain is past chair of Criminal Law Section of the New Jersey State Bar Association. Ken V served as a Municipal Prosecutor and was amazed how minor criminal guilty pleas and even dismissed charges can affect someone’s ability to get a job or advance a career. Do you have children or someone you know or work with that needs an expungement?
