Seal Or Expunge Your Criminal Record and Protect Your Future
Your future is important and a mark on your criminal record, even if you were not found guilty of a crime, can impact that future in many ways. Job opportunities, secondary education, apartment opportunities, loans and other situations may be impacted by someone who is judging you based on a criminal background check. By sealing or expunging your criminal record, you can maintain your privacy and guard against this impact on your life.
At the Law Office of A. Randall Haas, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, I can help answer your questions about the expungement or sealing of your criminal record and what steps you need to take for erasing an arrest or conviction. Record sealing and expungement can prevent the public from gaining access to your record. With more than 23 years in criminal defense, I can provide assistance in seeking a sealing or expungement of the record of your arrest so that you can have a second chance.
Requirements for Record Sealing and Expunging in Florida
The law in the state of Florida allows a person to seal non-judicial and judicial records as long as he or she meets certain requirements. These requirements include:
- No prior applications for a criminal record sealing or expungement
- Never had a record sealed or expunged in a past
- Not under any court supervision
- No prior conviction of a felony crime
There are exceptions, however, as to what charges are sealable or expungable and when it is mandatory to divulge that your record was sealed or expunged. In many cases, however, getting you record sealed or expunged means that you can legally state that you were never arrested or charged with a crime. By talking with an experienced lawyer, you can learn more about your rights and whether you qualify for record sealing or expungement.
