Case Summary
Our client faced two separate felony arrests: (i) Possession of a Controlled Substance under Florida Statute § 893.13(6)(a), and (ii) Possession of Drug Paraphernalia under § 893.147(1). These arrests were tied to an alleged violation of probation related to a new incident of criminal activity—an issue that can severely complicate eligibility for record sealing. Recognizing the legal complexity, our team crafted an extraordinary petition that addressed both arrests and the probation connection in detail. We demonstrated that the client remained legally eligible and had made substantial efforts toward rehabilitation. Presented before the Honorable Judge Lon S. Arend in Manatee County, the petition was granted. The client’s record was successfully sealed in just 5 months—proving that even with multiple arrests and a probation-related complication, relief is possible with the right legal strategy.
