Frequently Asked
Questions
What damages can I recover in a lawsuit?
Depending on the case, you may recover compensatory damages (for actual loss), pain and suffering, and in some egregious cases, punitive damages designed to punish the wrongdoer.
Q
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.

What is a Desk Appearance Ticket (DAT)?
A DAT is an order to appear in criminal court on a specific date for an arraignment. It means you were arrested but released without having to wait in jail for a judge. Do not ignore it—a warrant will be issued for your arrest.
