Sealing and Expungement

Learn if you are eligible for expunging or sealing your criminal record. Contact Attorney Michael Jones for 24/7 assistance through the entire process.

Thankfully, there is a way for people to leave the past and their criminal records behind. Through the process of expungement or sealing, people can have their criminal record “cleansed” of their past offenses and arrests. The expungement process can be fairly easy, especially if the person petitioning for expungement has a credible attorney helping him/her.

What is the difference between sealing and expunging a criminal record?

Both sealing and expungement allow you to deny the arrest ever occurred and remove your records from public access. Expunged records are physically destroyed. Sealed records are hidden from public view.

Am I eligible to have my record expunged?

In order to expunge a record you must:

Go back

What is the Related Offenses Exclusion?

In Florida you cannot seal or expunge a record if it relates to a crime that is ineligible to be sealed or expunged. This includes crimes such as sexual assault and domestic violence. You also cannot expunge or seal a record if the defendant is found guilty of the accused offense. Contact or Call Attorney Michael Jones today to discuss if your case still qualifies.
