Not all criminal convictions are eligible for sealing. Although you can only seal up to two eligible criminal convictions, if you were convicted of several crimes for the same criminal act, they may be treated as a single conviction for sealing purposes. In general, only two criminal convictions may be sealed, and only one of them can be a felony. The new law, which became effective on October 7, 2017, provides for general sealing authority for a wide array of adult criminal convictions if certain conditions are met and various factors are found in your favor. However, New York recently enacted an expansive criminal conviction sealing law. Until recently, the right to seal criminal records in New York was limited and only allowed in very narrow circumstances involving diversion courts and drug treatment dispositions. Instead, New York allows you to seal some criminal records under certain conditions. Unlike other states, New York does not allow you to expunge your criminal records, which would mean the record is completely destroyed and the crime and conviction is completely erased from your record. Even misdemeanor convictions may have serious collateral consequences in certain situations. When you are convicted of a crime as an adult, in addition to direct punishment, such as jail or prison time, fines, restitution, forfeiture and probation, there are also indirect consequences of criminal convictions, known as “collateral consequences.” Collateral consequences can affect a broad range of areas in your life, including employment, voting rights, jury service, immigration, housing, public benefits, and school loans.
