Expungement of Criminal Records - Florida Criminal Record Lawyer

If you have ever been arrested for a crime, you know how it can haunt you. Our law firm focuses on representing clients who are being threatened by deportation or whose immigration applications, employment or financial opportunities could be compromised because their Florida criminal records were not properly expunged or sealed. As Florida criminal record lawyers we believe that should not happen. Experienced in sealing and expungement of criminal records in all types off cases, we believe you are entitled to that second chance. We have helped such individuals clear their criminal record, avoid deportation, and complete immigration to the United States.

Any attorney can file an application for expungement. In fact, it is not even required that it is done by an attorney. However, not all Florida lawyers are experienced in these proceedings. Mistakes due to inexperience in expunging criminal records can delay the court from sealing or expunging your record, or result in your application for expungement being denied altogether. Our experience in sealing Florida criminal records is well-respected, and our fees are fair and reasonable.

If you are arrested you know you are entitled to your day in court. Even if you win that day and are found “not guilty” or the charges against you dropped, or dismissed, that arrest record can still be around to haunt you. If you have been arrested, or were the defendant in a criminal case for any reason, the records of your case, become a public record. That means all the police files on you, judicial records, and the record of any time you may have had to spend in jail prior to your trial.

We have all had to fill out job applications, applications for new homes, loans etc. Have you noticed that often these applications ask not “have you ever been convicted of a crime”, but have you “ever been arrested”. Even if you were found not guilty, but you have not had your record expunged, you would have to answer “yes” to that question, which could ruin your chances.

A Florida criminal record can be removed from public view in one of two ways; criminal records may be sealed or expunged. Our Fort Lauderdale based attorneys are knowledgeable in preparing applications for expungement or for sealing arrest records from any area of Florida. We are not limited to Broward County arrest records.

Please contact our law office at 1-954.723.0007 or email us at criminal expunge and seal if you need to expunge a Florida felony record, or any Florida criminal record.
