Seal or Expunge a Record
Many clients have a prior arrest in their past that is hindering them in getting a job, or a mortgage, or credit, or renting an apartment. We can help.
In many cases if you were arrested and the charges were dismissed, we can get your record expunged.
If you were arrested and settled the case, we may be able to get your record sealed.
What is the difference between sealing a record or expunging a record?
Not much. A case that is dismissed can be expunged. When a case is expunged, the actual record is destroyed.
A case that is settled for a withhold of adjudication can be sealed. When a case is sealed, the filed is sealed in an envelope.
A Withhold of Adjudication is where a person with no prior criminal convictions settles a case. When adjudication is withheld, it is not a formal criminal conviction, although you will have a record showing that you have a withhold of adjudication.
The law is very clear about what types of cases can be sealed. For instance, any crime involving sexual assault cannot be sealed.
If you want to have your case sealed or expunged, please contact us for a free consultation. It will take us just a few minutes to look at your history to see if you are eligible to have your record sealed or expunged.
If you are eligible to have your record sealed or expunged, we will offer you a money back guarantee that your record will be sealed or expunged.
We charge $650.00 to seal or expunge a record, and that fee includes the court costs to the Florida Department Of Law Enforcement and the Clerk of the Court.
It takes about 2-4 months to get a record sealed or expunged. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.
The Benefit of Getting a Record Sealed or Expunged
You are able to legally deny ever having been arrested.
Once your record is sealed or expunged, Florida Law says you NEVER HAVE TO DISCLOSE THE ARREST, except for a limited number of circumstances (like if you apply to be a lawyer for instance.)
