Expungement or Sealing Requires Specific Eligibility

Criminal record expungement or sealing will keep your criminal record from public eyes, including most employers, so it no longer impacts your life and your ability to get a job. Not all cases are eligible for expunging or sealing. A lawyer in Florida can help you expunge or seal your criminal record only under specific circumstances, which is why it’s important to contact an experienced record sealing and expungement attorney in Jacksonville.

Our Attorneys Will Guide You

Expungement and record sealing offer similar benefits when it comes to protecting your future. Both make your criminal record invisible to the public – including most employers – and prevent it from appearing in standard background checks. The key difference is in the eligibility requirements and how much access law enforcement retains.

Expungement

When a record is expunged, nearly all copies are physically destroyed, with only one kept securely by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. In most cases, local law enforcement cannot access an expunged record. To qualify, the charges must have been dismissed, and you must never have been adjudicated guilty of any other offense.

Sealing

Sealing a record hides it from public view and background searches, but law enforcement and certain government agencies can still access it. You may be eligible if you pleaded guilty or no contest, had adjudication of guilt withheld, and have never been adjudicated guilty of another crime.

Jacqueline Weber

Dale Carson Law was great. I called them for a traffic ticket and they said they would call in approximately a month. I was sent an email in a month, they also followed up with a phone call after email was sent to see if I had any questions. The ticket was already taken care of without having to go to court. They exceeded my expectations. They followed through in a timely manner. I would definitely use them again. Highly recommended.
