ARE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR SEALING OR EXPUNGING OF YOUR CRIMINAL RECORD?

Did you know that an arrest will forever be a part of your criminal record, regardless of whether the case results in a dismissal?

A criminal arrest can have a negative impact on your ability to get admitted into college/graduate school or even get a job that you are more than qualified for. However, there are ways to have your criminal history removed from being accessed by the general public.

Our attorney's have assisted hundreds of clients in having their criminal history either sealed or expunged, which allowed them to move on with their lives without having to continuously re-live the consequences of a criminal arrest.

Sealing v. Expungement

When a criminal history record is sealed, the public will not have access to it. Certain governmental or related entities, primarily those listed in s. 943.059(4)(a), Florida Statutes, have access to sealed record information in its entirety. When a record has been expunged, those entities which would have access to a sealed record will be informed that the subject of the record has had a record expunged, but would not have access to the record itself without a court order. Such entities would receive only a caveat statement indicating that "Criminal Information has been Expunged from this Record".
