The client must provide a written disposition to the law office for all prior criminal charges or typed details you have, even criminal charges you were not arrested or fingerprinted. This is required by the Superior Court. All charges since you were 18 years old.
The Law Office can obtain the Certified Disposition for Municipal Court cases, or a Judgment of Conviction for Superior Court charges at a fee of $400 per court. It is usually more cost effective for the client to obtain the court records themselves.
