The journey to sealing or expunging a criminal record in the State of Florida can be a complex process, but it represents a pivotal step towards a fresh start and a clear future. Understanding the nuances of eligibility, the types of records that can be cleared, and the frequency with which these actions can be taken is crucial for individuals seeking to leave their past transgressions behind. THEAMLAWYERS, P.A., with their extensive experience in handling such cases in Orlando and throughout Central Florida, stands as a beacon of hope for many looking to navigate this legal labyrinth.
In Florida, the eligibility for sealing or expunging a criminal record is governed by specific criteria. To qualify, an individual must have been arrested in Florida and have no open criminal cases, including pending trials or pretrial diversions. It is essential that they have never been adjudicated guilty of a crime, which differs from pleading guilty; this is also distinct from having adjudication withheld. Furthermore, all terms of probation must be completed if ordered.
Not all criminal records are eligible for expungement or sealing in Florida. Generally, individuals may be eligible if they were arrested but not convicted of a crime, acquitted of the charges, completed a pretrial diversion program, or received a withhold of adjudication for certain offenses. However, serious crimes such as violent offenses, sexual offenses, and crimes involving minors are not eligible for expungement or sealing.
Florida law stipulates that an individual can only seek one expungement or sealing order for one adult criminal proceeding in a lifetime, with the exception being if the person seeks to expunge a record that's been sealed for 10 years. This underscores the importance of ensuring that the process is done correctly the first time, highlighting the value of experienced legal counsel.
