Why should I hire an expungement attorney to clear my record?
Suppose you were sentenced to probation and finished it successfully without violating or without being adjudicated. In that case, you need to have the record sealed so that it will not appear on a background search.

What are the requirements for getting my record expunged?
Florida permits a person to seal a single arrest/case under certain circumstances, the most important of which is that you have no convictions of any prior crimes.
That means you can seal multiple charges from one case, including a felony down filed to a misdemeanor.
Unfortunately, unless the State Attorney dismissed the case, you are not eligible for immediate expungement.
However, after ten years, you are eligible for expungement.
Does getting my record expunged clear my criminal history?
No.
So, you might wonder what the difference is between having a criminal history sealed versus expunged. According to FDLE, when you seal a criminal history record, the public has no access to it.
Certain governmental or related entities, primarily those listed in s. 943.059(4)(a), Florida Statutes, have access to sealed record information in its entirety.
When expunging a record, entities with access to a sealed record are informed that the subject of the record has had a record expunged but will not have access to it without a court order.
They receive a caveat statement indicating that “Criminal Information has been Expunged from this Record.”
