Think your criminal record is stuck with you forever? Think again! Too many people miss out on jobs, housing, and education because of outdated myths about expungement like: ❌ “Convictions can’t be expunged.” ✅ Some NJ convictions CAN be cleared. ❌ “If it happened years ago, it’s already gone.” ✅ Records don’t disappear on their own, you have to apply to have them expunged. Through the Clean Slate Initiative, Northeast New Jersey Legal Services helps eligible individuals expunge their criminal records — for free. Call us at (973) 523-2900 Or send us a message to see if you qualify, it’s 100% confidential and judgment-free. probononnjls@lsnj.org (fb)
