We Believe in Second Chances and the Florida Statutes Provide Relief Through Expungement Petitions
Most prior defendants are not even aware of the stigma they will face long after their criminal case is concluded. Their defense attorney, public defender, and probation officer usually do not offer expungement information. This is very unfortunate.
Defendants have no idea that a case dismissal or a disposition that withholds the adjudication of guilt will still haunt them in their future job prospects, apartment rentals, and professional licensing.
Our law firm can remove the baggage of an existing prior criminal case by seeking a full expungement or seal under the Florida Statutes. Feel confident moving forward that you are always placing yourself in the best possible light. Over the last 28 years, we have helped many people achieve their objectives of getting better employment, housing, school acceptance, and desired state licensing. Review our videos and free information. Reach out to our staff today to expedite the expungement or sealing process.

FAQ
What is the Benefit of an Expungement/Sealing?
Once a court order is issued, the information associated with the arrest is wiped from all official databases in the state.
What is the Difference Between an Expungement and a Sealing?
Under state statutes, we follow the process for an Expungement if your case was dismissed. State relief for a non-conviction (plea) charge is done through the seal process.
Can Every Charge Qualify for Expungement/Sealing?
No, several criteria must be met. You cannot have any criminal/traffic criminal charges that resulted in a conviction of guilt. Several specific types of charges can only be expunged, but not sealed. Our team can review your case for qualification.
Can Multiple Criminal Cases Get Expunged?
Only one Florida case gets expunged or sealed. However, all charges within the same incident will be included in the expungement or sealing.
How Long Does the Process Take?
Our team moves very quickly. However, we must wait for documents to be returned in each step. The average time to complete is 3-6 months.
How Much Does an Expungement/Seal Cost?
The law firm charges a one-time fee, which includes the upfront state application fee. Each county sets a clerk of court filing fee that is between $42 -$85 on average. Contact us for details.
Is a Successful Expungement/Sealing Guaranteed?
We cannot guarantee the outcome of any legal process. However, it is extremely rare that a denial takes place if the candidate is qualified under state statutes.
Can a Non-Florida Criminal Case be Expunged?
Our law firm only handles Florida criminal cases.
