J.K.	7210	I would never consider using anyone else. He is compasionate as a human being.
S.T.	7221	I will always remember your kindness.
P.J.K.	7233	Mr. Marain did an outstanding job! Thank you!!!
J.A.	7240	Thank you very much for everything. I was able to leave NJ and am in VT with my daughter. I also recieved my VT teaching lisense last week. Thank you so much for your help I could not have done all this without you.
S.S.	7246	Mr. Marain processed my case in a very timely manner at every step. He did a good job at notifying me of what was going on.
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.

R.K.S.	7358	Thanks
W.M.	7368	GREAT JOB!!!
H.W.	7369	Well Done

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!

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.

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.

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!

R.M.	7944	Great service

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.

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
