Expungement

Jason is an amazing lawyer. I, several years ago, had a simple assault case that was dismissed when I was younger because the plaintiff never wanted to press charges, the judge seeing it was my only trouble with law enforcement did not want to punish my future over one young mistake. However, as I re...cently graduated college and wanted to seek employment in my field, my background record would consistently show this case that I had and it prevented me from moving forward in my life. It hit me then, that without action this would stay on my record forever; so I talked to several lawyers over the phone about my situation, but it wasn't until I spoke with Jason that I decided to take his offer on getting a free consultation with a visit to his office. Long story short, I met with him few days later and on that date he helped me immediately with my process in getting my record expunged and was always great on communication and being specific on details in what I needed, a great estimate on how long the process would take, etc. For the service he provides, his prices are great. There was no unanswered questions with him and within less than a year's time he resolved my issue and now I am more confident than ever to apply and enter my career field. So I would recommend Jason as a lawyer to anyone who's in need of assistance or any legal advice of sort. This is the reason why I am taking time out my day and writing a review about him.

Handled my expungement with absolute professionalism!

I found Jason online through a search for Expungement attorneys in Bergen County, NJ. We had a preliminary phone introduction followed by an in-person meeting at his office. I had two arrests for domestic issues. Both cases were dismissed by the courts, but the arrest records lived on despite no... conviction. They first turned up when I applied for Global Entry with the Department of Homeland Security. As a corporate executive with extensive international travel, having anything like this could be an issue. This also reminded me that these arrests would turn up in background checks for future job opportunities. Jason was very specific outlining the court documents and the forms that I needed to complete and provide to him. Once submitted, he was also very transparent about the status of my filing, and how long it could take. He was very accurate...claiming about 5-6 months and it went through in 5 1/2. If I emailed Jason to check on the progress, he always responded within 24 hours max, often sooner. Overall, the process was simple and painless other than the waiting which is beyond Jason's control. His fees were reasonable and fair, and he stated the only additional costs would be related to the filing of forms with the respective courts and law enforcement agencies, so basically the cost of copies, envelopes and postage. He provided itemized invoices for everything and all costs were well within reason. Jason was extremely professional and personable. I felt like he cared about my process and didn't handle me just like a transaction. I would gladly work with Jason again were I to have legal needs in the areas in which he practices.

Expungement Services

I was referred to Jason Komninos by the Bergen County Bar Association ( they were extremely helpful in locating the perfect attorney ) to perform expungement services for a mistake that happened in 2014. Mr. Komninos was professional and exhibited a great deal of knowledge about the process that w...e were about to undertake. I hired him after my consultation visit and was consistently impressed with the care and concern he took on personally for my case. I was updated throughout all the steps and he explained everything I needed to provide. He also made copies and backups of everything just in case the courts and police could not locate information. I knew I made the right choice hiring Mr. Komninos because of the level expertise he showed during the long process, which is common with expungement cases. Mr. Komninos made this dreaded experience actually pleasant and relatively easy for me by going to court and acting on my behalf. I did not even have to take off of work to accompany him to court for my case. I would highly recommend him for any cases you have regarding motor vehicle incidents that include something as small as tickets to the "big" offenses such as arrests. His rate was very reasonable and he offers payment plans as well! He will work with you in every way to get you the results you want and deserve!
