Questions regarding Conditional Discharge and Expungement.

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by Edward J. Dimon (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Expungements
conditional discharge means that the 'charges are put on the shelf for a certain period and if one does not re-offend, the charges are dismissed'. did you complete the requirements for the conditional discharge ? if so, the charges are dismissed. i would then have the arrest expunged so that you can answer, pursuant to the expungement statute, that you have never been arrested. we do expungements every week. the cost is $1500. ed dimon, esq. 732-797-1600...

Can I expunge a charge that was dissmissed at time of sentencing

Answered 12 years and 10 months ago by Waynice Green (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Expungements
Technically you can expunge a dismissed charge immediately, but if you can wait, you might as well have the entire record expunged at once- mainly because having the expungement done will be the same price whether you have one item expunged or the two expunged at the same time.  Attorneys generally charge one price for a simple expungement, and higher prices for more complicated expungements.  You expungement appears to be simple (based on what you have stated).  I am not sure if you are applying to jobs/ school/ military etc, but unless you think that the misconduct charge is causing a significant hinderance- which would not exist if you had only the theft charge- you may want to hold off.  It is a bit difficult to make such a determination without more facts.  You should look into consulting with an attorney via phone or in person.  Should you have any further questions, you can contact my office at (732) 609 3915.  Good luck....
