Felon seeks expungement to get a job
Q: I am 43 years old I have been certified as an EMT for 18 years and my certifications are legal through the state of NJ. I am also a paramedic. I was found guilty of 3rd degree poss of CDS not while on the job about 10 yrs ago.
I was arrested and charged with poss of Xanax 4yrs ago. I had prescriptions but my lawyer was incompetent and has since been disbarred. I did my probation and paid my fines.
Do you think that I can write to judge and ask to remove because of lawyer so I can expunge the old charges and get back to work? If you can help, I need it other wise I have to wait another 7 yrs. Please I could use your advice please write back. Oh and I went to state and told them and they still let me keep my cert but when I go for job they see felony and show me to the door.

Felon seeks expungement to get a job
A: Hello Katy,
Many ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs require legal assistance. I’m not prepared to give legal advice. I do know that there is a 10 year waiting period after the completion of your sentence to apply for expungement in New Jersey.
My suggestion is to explore all of your options such as getting your conviction overturned. I would find your local legal aid office. There you could could possibly get low-cost or even no cost assistance.
I hope this helps
