Discover if You Qualify for Expungement

Did you know that your arrest will show up on your criminal record even if you were not convicted? If a landlord, banker, or employer sees that you have been arrested, their final decision may be swayed. The good news is that you may be eligible to file for expungement to get your charges removed from your record.

Unfortunately, those convicted of crimes in Florida cannot have their record expunged. You can only qualify for expungement if your charges were dropped, the case was dismissed, you were found not guilty, or the case failed to be filed correctly. However, if you were convicted of the offense, you may be eligible to have your record sealed.
