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.

Eligibility For Record Expungement In Florida

One of the biggest obstacles to getting your criminal record sealed or expunged is finding out that you are ineligible. To avoid this scenario (and all the time, money and hopes spent only to find out you have been denied), the main eligibility factors you will need to find out include: 

(1) Whether the criminal charges you want expunged were dropped, nolle prossed, or dismissed.
(2) whether you have never been previously adjudicated guilty or delinquent in the State of Florida; and.
(3) whether this is your first time seeking expungement of an adult record in Florida. 

Excluding You From The List Of Ineligible Offenses

There are some crimes that are statutorily ineligible for record sealing, and any criminal offense that falls into this category will mean you will be ineligible to have the record expunged or sealed in Florida regardless of the passage of time. Some of these crimes include violent crimes such as felony assault or felony battery, domestic violence cases, crimes of illicit sexual misconduct, drug manufacturing offenses, and crimes involving acts of child abuse. The full list of ineligible offenses can be found under Fla. Stat. § 943.0584.

Overseeing the Expungement Process

Once your eligibility has been confirmed, our expungement lawyer will immediately get to work on your record expungement or sealing process. Although there is a lot that needs to be done, such as collecting all the details of the offenses, applying to the relevant criminal justice departments, fighting for your rights should any opposition occur, our expert expungement lawyers will do all the work A-Z, from beginning to end. Our goal is to expunge your record as expeditiously as possible while giving you peace of mind. No matter the offenses that have been alleged against you, Erase the Case can help.

With an enviable track record of assisting many Florida residents in getting their records expunged and a history of a stellar attorney-client relationship, there are no better expungement lawyers anywhere in Florida. Do not let one misdemeanor or felony offense define the rest of your life when you can easily seal or expunge a wide range of criminal records. A fresh start with the help of Erase the Case is only one call away at 1 (866) 372-7335.

FAQs

What should I look for when choosing an expungement lawyer in Florida?

When searching for a Florida expungement attorney, choose one who specializes specifically in expungement and sealing cases, rather than just general criminal defense. Ensure they provide a free eligibility review, flat-fee pricing, and court representation if necessary. A reputable firm should also have a clear refund policy, assist with mugshot and background check removal, and offer regular updates on your case. Be sure to check reviews and verify that the attorney is knowledgeable about recent changes in Florida expungement laws.

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.

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.
