Benefits of sealing or expunging your criminal records
Under the Florida Statute § 943.0585, an expungement order means that all parties involved (typically between 5-7) will be required to treat the expunged criminal offenses as confidential records. The expunged records will be erased from public view and will give the subject of the Florida criminal record the right to deny this criminal case took place, with certain statutory limitations.
Moreover, there will be no need to disclose your criminal record under most circumstances; you'll have the freedom to go on living without your past misdemeanors haunting you, and it will open up more employment opportunities and improve getting financial assistance.

Common Questions About Florida Expungement
Everything you need to know about expunging and sealing your Florida criminal record.
Do I need a lawyer to expunge my record in Florida?
Hiring a lawyer for expungement in Florida isn't legally required, but it can significantly improve your chances of success. The process is complex, involving strict eligibility criteria and communication with agencies like the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). A lawyer ensures that your application is accurate, timely, and compliant with legal requirements, minimizing the risk of delays or denials. While self-filing is an option, an attorney can save you time and help avoid mistakes.
What kind of lawyer do you need for expungement?
You need a Florida expungement lawyer who focuses exclusively on expungement and sealing, not a general practice attorney. Because expungement involves strict eligibility rules, FDLE procedures, court filings, and recent changes in expungement law, it is important to choose a law firm with deep experience in this area. Look for an attorney who offers a free eligibility review, flat-fee pricing, court representation, and help with mugshot removal and background check removal as part of a more complete record-clearing process.
How much does an expungement lawyer cost in Florida?
In Florida, hiring an expungement lawyer costs between $750 and over $2,500. The price depends on how complicated the case is and whether the fee is hourly or a flat rate. Some law firms offer flat fees starting at $995.
How long does it take Erase The Case to expunge my record?
Most firms take 5–7 months to expunge a record in Florida. At Erase The Case, we can expunge your criminal record just 3–5 months, with some cases completed in as little as 90 days. Our speed comes from focusing exclusively on expungements and streamlining every step of the process.
How do I know if I qualify for expungement/sealing?
To qualify, you must have never been convicted, not previously expunged or sealed a record in Florida, and your charge must have been dropped, dismissed, or resulted in a not guilty verdict. Take our free 2-minute eligibility test to find out instantly if you qualify.
