Expungement Granted for Two Separate Cases Spanning 5 Weeks

Case Summary

Our client faced an unusually complex challenge: two unrelated arrests occurring five weeks apart, each with its own case number. The charges included (i)–(vi) Burglary of an Unoccupied Conveyance under Florida Statute § 810.02(4)(b), (vii) Burglary of an Occupied Dwelling (Unarmed) under § 810.02(3)(a), and (viii) Petit Theft under § 812.014(2)(e). Because the incidents involved multiple charges across two different cases, expungement was far from routine. We submitted an extraordinary petition to unify both records under one expungement process—demonstrating not only our client’s eligibility but their commitment to rehabilitation and closure. Presented before the Honorable Judge Cheryl Caracuzzo in Palm Beach County, the petition was granted. Both records were expunged within just 5 months. This case illustrates that with the right legal strategy, even multi-case petitions can lead to a clean slate.
