I.H. 7154 I found Mr. Marain to be a shrewd and practical jurist. His years of legal experience and seemingly infinite knowledge regarding the New Jersey expungement process were evidenced in the seamless manner in which he handled my case.

A.J.M. 7161 If someone I know needs an excellent attorney I will refer him or her to Mr. Marain, with the upmost confidence because a few others I called said they could not do anything for me. That told me they did not know what to do; because they were not familiar with my type of case.
J.A.C. 7171 Mr. Marain,

I really appreciate your professionalism! And thank you for your constant contact and for keeping me in the loop throughout the process.

D.M.M. 7247 I am completely satisfied with the services that I received and the promptness of the resolution to this case.
R.B. 7255 Thank you for everything. Outstanding service.
A.M. 7258 In the days since the successful completion of my expungement I have had time to fully reflect on what it means to me and those that will come in contact with me for the rest of my life and am nothing but inspired. Being able to find you, a needle in a haystack has left me with hope that I did not have before. I can now stand upright and chase my dreams freely and unapologetically without that scarlet letter attachment anymore.

I have also decided to continue my educational pursuits and I have transferred to the University of Alabama (online) to get the last 30 or so credits that I need to complete my undergraduate studies. I'm not sure where I will go or what I will do after that but I guess the real point now is that I have a choice because of the service that you have provided for me as well as others.
V.L. 7275 Very professional & prompt. Thank you!
C.A.S. 7292 Supportive, Knowledgeable and kind.

God bless you.
R.K.S. 7358 Thanks
W.M. 7368 GREAT JOB!!!

S.G. 7379 The NJ law is arbitrary & capricious. The standard they apply to the case is idiotic. The expungement were of things in the begone past.

K.B. 7386 I was very pleased with my experience and the outcome of the case. Thank you so much for all your help.

P.L.D. 7517 I thank Mr. Marain for his professionalism, courtesy & assurance he provided for me. He truly made me feel confident in that he & his staff had my best interest @ heart!
W.A.R. 7539 You were great! In November 2016 I was approved for a concealed carry weapons permit in North Carolina. I was very impressed how you represented me in such a timely manner. It feels good to know I can now legally say no to the “box” on job applications. I am very happy and pleased with your service! Please feel free to use my gratitude to show prospective clients. The fee was worth it!!! I now have peace of mind!
J.M. 7547 I cannot thank you enough for your time, effort and sharing your knowledge. I don't believe I will ever need a lawyer with your specific area of concentration in the future, however I will certainly refer anyone I meet in the future who may.

E.S. 7579 Great job! Thank you!
S.E.C. 7583 I received your voicemail late today regarding my expungement application and felt an immediate thank you was in order! My experience with you has never lacked professionalism, courtesy, or caring! Never have I felt like during this process that I was another case for you; your true compassion and understanding of my situation, as your client, was absolutely remarkable to experience. Thank you----from the bottom of my heart. You have made a difficult process seem graceful and effortless, but I truly appreciate all your efforts on my behalf. I could not have asked for a more knowledgeable or more caring lawyer, and wanted to give thanks!
Q.A. 7587 My husband and I really appreciate your help during this process. Thank you so much and may God richly bless you for your kindness.
D.M.S. 7599 I found Mr. Marain and staff to be a life saver for me and my family. He took his time out to help me now I'm able to go back to work, and help others.

C.O. 7699 Very professional and thorough

E.K. 7751 I appreciate all the help you and your staff provided. Professional work above and beyond.
M.T.M. 7770 Even with technical issues, and difficult agencies Allan still prevailed. He did an excellent job.
F.K. 7778 I never got to meet you but you seem to be a nice and a excellent lawyer.
D.P. o/b/o C.W. 7804 Although the case was not resolved in C's favor, this was a particularly difficult situation as interpretation of new statute language is evolving. Had their not been such fraught emotional issues tied up with the litigation, C would have pursued the case to the next level.

Thank you again for your hard work and support.
I.M. 7806 Great Service. I am very pleased! The process was quicker than I imagined. Staff were so friendly and helpful.
J.R. 7814 The expungement service from Mr. Marain and his staff couldn't have been better.
K.L. 7822 You guys took SUCH good care of me! Thank You!
M.P.H. 7847 I was very satisfied with the service I received.
M.S. 7848 It's nice that you are helping change peoples lives. My case probably isn't the most critical as I have always been self-employed and productive. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that you are truly changing their lives and giving them opportunity.
D.E.M. 7850 Highly recommended without reservation.
L.M.C. 7852 A+++ and 5 stars!!! Allan Marain was beyond outstanding, in every possible way!!! He was...out of the box thinker, great knowledge of the law and its applications. Truly, he want above and beyond! He really did his research. I cannot say enough great things about our attorney Allan Marain.
P.W. 7853 Mr. Marain,
My sincere thanks goes to you for my excellent legal representation. I could not be happier with the results of my expungement. You Mr. Marain made a very critical difference in my future. The extra time and effort put forth on your behalf until the end was truly appreciated. The process was a little long, but in the end thanks to you my expungement was granted. Thanks again for displaying experience and skill to get the best possible results for me.
D.W. 7855 Thank you for all of the work over the years
O.M. 7856 The degree of understanding that you represented and showed was outstanding. You never mislead me and we got the outcome that was warranted. Thank you for representing me and taking the case.
J.L.S. 7861 Nice job!
H.L.H. 7865 I would highly recommend Mr. Marain & his staff to anyone I know, and would gladly use his services again if need be. Thank you.
D.P. 7874 Always a gentleman.
Thank you.
A.G. 7876 Thank you so much.
Z.S. 7879 I am glad I contacted him for my case. He is very supportive and knowledgable legally...I am feeling like his professional help has given me next life. I truely trust him professionally & personally.
L.J.C. 7882 I cannot recommend Mr. Marain and his staff enough. I feel absolutely blessed to have had him represent me. He made an extremely stressful and long ordeal very manageable and encouraged me multiple times when I felt dispirited. I have never felt a better fit with an attorney, and I feel it unfortunate that I did not meet him earlier in my life. I never felt rushed or pressured. To the contrary, when Mr. Marain had a hint that I didn't understand something he took the time to make sure that I knew what the process was and what I was to expect. He is an incredibly present attorney. He doesn't carelessly multitask when working on your behalf, while corresponding or speaking with you. When working with him it quickly becomes apparent that he feels you important. He has a wealth of experience, knowledge and resources that he utilized when representing me. I experienced above and beyond communication and professionalism even after my issue was concluded and there were minor details that might aid me going further. His cost was overwhelmingly reasonable in relation to the amount of work, and time that he invested. I have come to know him over the last year as a man that values the care and well-being of his clients and concept of justice well above his time and income. He treats his profession as a service to his clients. Although I am not in any way a litigious person I now carry myself with less apprehension of any legal matters that I may have to address in the future. If you are a potential client do yourself a favor and retain Mr. Marain. If you are a young or new attorney you will benefit immeasurably by having Mr. Marain as a mentor.
S.S. 7891 I cannot thank you enough for all of your help.
D.B. 7901 He was incredibly professional, diligent, and easy to reach at all times. Top notch expertise! I needed an expungement for a very complicated array of incidents on my record. Allan was confident he could deliver the best possible results....and he did! Everything is now completely expunged. Without fail, he had all the answers to my questions and informed me EXACTLY what to expect moving forward. I would undoubtedly use him again and I would recommend him to anyone in need.
T.V. 7907 Mr. Marain did an excellent job, at an excellent price in an excellent time frame.
Z.L. 7909 Thank you fo much for your time and effort. I really appreciate it!
A.S.P. 7911 Mr. Marain has truly been an blessing to me and I am thankful that he took my case and Mr. Marain did an amazing job with my case.

Thank you again Mr. Marain.
K.P. 7917 I really appreciate Allan's professionalism, care & overall personality. Also the steps he took to protect my privacy shows that he truly understands that peaceful liberty loving individuals may sometimes require going above & beyond, which Allan did with zero hesitation or complaint.
H.A. 7921 Mr. Marain surpassed my expectations throughout the entire expungement process. I was always kept looped in on updates even during COVID-19. I was surprised how fact my expungemnt was resolved. I am extremely pleased.
M.V. 7930 Mr. Marain, thank you for all your help, and proffesionalism. I really appreciate all your follow ups via mail to keep me informed of all the steps to achieve a clean record. Which we did! =) Thanks ALOT!
M.Q. 7935 Mr. Marain reminded me that I was able to have my last and final charge expunged 5 years after he had gotten all of my other charges expunged. He's the [wording redacted] expungement lawyer in NJ that I've been able to find and have had the pleasure of working with! He is my go-to lawyer for exungements in NJ!!
R.M. 7944 Great service
C.B.O. 7960 Mr. Marain is a kind, wonderful understanding individual who explains everything with clarity. He answers all questions asked of him. His fees are reasonable. I would recommend him to everyone who may need his expertise. Thank you Mr. Marain!
B.A.B. 7975 Too many letters. Email saves trees & time (=
M.C. 7978 Allan,

Thank you so much for your efforts, patience and help. All holds had been removed and I was able to finally get my license renewed this morning.
B.A.M. 7982 Thank you for all that you do and Have Done.
M.A. 8005 First and foremost, I want to thank Mr. Marain so much for his assistance in getting my son's juvenile record sealed. I wanted to acknowledge his excellent work in this matter and how greatly appreciative I am of his diligent efforts. To be able to do this during the time of pandemic and remain persistent throughout the process speaks volume of his character and intellect.

My son also extends his sincerest gratitude towards him, when he first recognized this issue 6 months ago it caused him great amounts of stress and he has been able to mitigate his concerns with his persistent effort throughout his case.

Mr. Marain showed me his great knowledge and experience to proceed with the case. I highly recommend Mr. Marain law office . If you want to have peace of mind and honest handling of your case, then don’t hesitate to hire Mr. Marain Allen law office.

Dr. [name redacted]

Allan Marain is among the highly experienced expungement attorneys in New Jersey.The Practice

Allan Marain is a Senior Instructor with Garden State Continuing Legal Education Services. He has been a presenter in its seminars to New Jersey attorneys of "Expungements under New Jersey Law". He is the immediate past chair of the expungement committee of the Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers of New Jersey. New Jersey County and local law enforcement agencies have sought his advice concerning application of New Jersey Statutes and Court Rules relating to expungements. His article, Expungement of Criminal Proceedings, was featured in the February 2005 edition of "New Jersey Lawyer Magazine," published by the New Jersey State Bar Association. The October 2015 edition of that same magazine contains his article, Expungement and Sealing of Juvenile Records. On February 4, 2019, the New Jersey Law Journal published as an op-ed a letter that Allan submitted entitled It's Time To Fix the Expungement Process.

The New Jersey Law Revision Commission (NJLRC) has invited his thoughts on proposed changes and revisions to the New Jersey Expungement statutes, and Mr. Marain has been pleased to respond to that invitation. In January 2015, Allan co-presented with Jason Seidman, of the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office, Expunging a Criminal Record - what you need to know as a defense attorney; what you need to know as a prosecutor. This presentation was for continuing legal education credits, under the auspices of the Criminal Law Section of the New Jersey State Bar Association. In the audience were criminal defense lawyers as well as prosecutors from throughout New Jersey.

In November 2017, Allan again made a co-presentation to the New Jersey State Bar Association. This time it was to its Municipal Court Practice Section. His co-presenter was Christina Atallah, from the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office. The program concerned expungements in general, with emphasis upon expungement of matters heard in municipal courts. In June 2018 he participated as a panel member for another Municipal Court Practice Section presentation, and in September he again spoke, this time with Essex County Assistant Prosecutor Gary Thomas, to the Criminal Law Section of the New Jersey State Bar Association. Allan was invited to co-present a seminar for the Association for Justice program on November 15, 2018, at the New Jersey Meadowlands. However, he was uninvited when he indicated his unwillingness to pay its $495.00 registration fee for the privilege. He did speak on October 20, 2018 to the Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers of New Jersey, together with Assistant Deputy Public Defender Stephen Hunter. On November 14, 2018, he presented a webinar to lawyers throughout New Jersey for the New Jersey State Bar Association. This webinar discussed changes to New Jersey expungement law that took effect on October 1, 2018. The webinar also discussed other aspects of New Jersey expungement law, including procedure, drafting suggestions, and “hot topics.”

Together with Middlesex County Assistant Prosecutor Fabrice Charles and representatives from the Administrative Office of the Courts, Allan co-presented on February 22, 2021 Recent Developments in New Jersey Expungement Law to the Municipal Court Practice Committee of the New Jersey State Bar Association. Allan modified this presentation for an Institute of Continuing Legal Education (ICLE) webinar on September 20, 2021. Together with his paralegal Danielle, he updated and, on September 12, 2022, again presented this ICLE seminar. And on November 21, 2022, he was a panelist with two Kean College professors presenting expungement law to criminal justice undergraduates
