Can my criminal record be expunged or sealed?
New York has 'sealing' laws (under CPL 160.59) for certain convictions after 10 years. New Jersey has a more robust 'expungement' process. Eligibility depends heavily on the specific charges and your timeline.
Exercise your right to remain silent. Do not speak to law enforcement without an attorney present. Clearly state, 'I am invoking my right to remain silent and I want to speak to a lawyer.' Do not consent to any searches. Contact us immediately.
Learn moreA target letter notifies you that you are the target of a federal grand jury investigation and likely to be indicted. If you receive one, do not speak to agents. Contact a federal defense attorney immediately to intervene before an indictment is returned.
Learn moreFederal courts prosecute violations of U.S. statutes (like interstate fraud, drug trafficking, or immigration crimes). Judges are appointed for life, the procedural rules are stricter, and the sentencing guidelines are far more severe than in state court. You need an attorney specifically admitted to federal practice.
