First, they should keep all their paperwork from their case, including all police reports, because they will be important. That will make my job a lot easier and the process a lot quicker because I won’t have to make applications to courts to get all the paperwork.
The second thing the person can do is to just flat out not get into any more trouble; people have come to me after getting two disorderly persons convictions and I tell them they have one more bite of the apple. They need only to pick up one more charge for a disorderly person’s offense because if they pick up four, we can’t have anything expunged.
