When a New Jersey municipal court provides you with a copy of the official court record(s) you requested, also known as the “disposition,” you may notice that certain codes are used to record the disposition in New Jersey’s Automated Complaint System (ACS). For those who are unfamiliar with this program, figuring out how to read your case disposition can be confusing. The New Jersey expungement lawyers at National Security Law Firm, therefore, have created this guide to NJ disposition codes for your reference in order to help you better understand the computer disposition printout.

Why Expungement Matters

A criminal record doesn’t just stay in the past — it shows up in job applications, housing searches, loan approvals, and even volunteer opportunities. Even if your charges were dismissed or years old, they can still appear on background checks unless properly expunged.

But here’s the hidden problem: many expungements don’t actually work the way clients expect.

Our audits reveal that 25–30% of New Jersey agencies fail to update their databases, and private background check companies never get notified automatically. That’s why so many clients come to us saying:

“I thought my record was gone, but it’s still showing up.”

How NSLF Makes Expungements Work

At National Security Law Firm, led by Karen Howell, Esq., we make sure your expungement truly clears your record everywhere it matters:

  • Government Database Verification — We confirm NJSP, FBI, courts, police, and probation remove your record.

  • Private Background Check Notifications — Our proprietary system notifies companies like TruthFinder, Checkr, and Sterling.

  • Lifetime Record Protection — If your record resurfaces in the future, we step in and remove it free of charge.

  • Refund Guarantee — If denied for reasons outside your control, we refund your fee in full.
