Q: is there a way to remove a wrong juvenile charge in new jersey?
the case was about 5yrs ago as a juvenile case and it was a result of a plea verdict. Except the final charges didn't involve one of the original charges. New jersey courts didn't remove it, even though the charge appearing isn't correct. I want to know if there's a away I could remove it by myself or would I need an attorney's assistance
edit: it's expunged but due to the error, government jobs still see it and see the error away but wont make leeway because its present in writing regardless of error.
A: Depending on a variety of factors, you might be eligible to expunge the juvenile record. You would need to contact an attorney to discuss this option in greater detail.
