I'm very proud to have represented our six named plaintiffs and a class of successful expungement petitioners to resolve this case and ensure that the NJSP clears expunged records in a timely manner. The OPD is committed to helping our clients get the second chances they deserve.

They want to walk away from their criminal past. This N.J. county doesn’t make it easy.
