Get your criminal record expunged with the best Florida expungement lawyer

Going through life with a criminal record hanging over your head can be difficult. Simple things like getting a job or applying for a bank loan will suddenly seem very complicated, especially in this day and age where it is so easy to conduct criminal background checks on anybody.

Rather than allow a poor criminal history record to hold you back, approach the best Florida expungement attorneys, and get the help getting your record expunged.

Court-Ordered Expungement in Florida

Court-ordered expungement in Florida is the process of having criminal records destroyed and rendered confidential, making them unavailable as part of the public record. This means that a prospective employer or someone conducting a routine background check will not be able to find any information about those particular crimes with certain statutory exceptions. After a successful criminal record expungement, only a limited set of persons or government entities will be able to access information related to the expunged criminal record. These persons or entities may have access or the right to know about your record sealing or record expungement of your arrest record.

Record Sealing in Florida

Record sealing does not destroy your records but makes them inaccessible to the public, meaning most employers won’t see them. However, government agencies can still access sealed records, and you can legally deny any sealed arrests or convictions. Under Florida Statutes section 943.059, you can petition to seal your criminal record if you’ve never been found guilty of a crime or adjudicated delinquent for certain misdemeanors, such as assault or battery, unless that record was previously expunged. You’re ineligible for sealing if you’ve already received a sealing or expungement.

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.

FAQs

What is the difference between sealing and expungement?

In Florida, sealing a record makes it hidden from the public and most background checks, but certain government agencies can still access it. Expungement goes further by destroying the record, with only a confidential copy kept by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), making it inaccessible to nearly all agencies. Both allow individuals to legally deny the record’s existence, but sealed records remain visible to some entities, while expunged records are nearly erased.

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.
