Let Our Firm Expunge or Seal Your Florida Criminal Record
Whether you have been convicted, charged, or arrested, a criminal record can negatively affect your life in several ways, from employment and housing to loans and other freedoms. The only way to put the past behind you for good is to get your record expunged or sealed with the help of an experienced criminal defense attorney.
At the Law Offices of Eric Reisinger, P.A., we can help you gather the necessary documents and records, handle all the paperwork on your behalf, and guide you through the legal process to clear your name. With more than two decades of experience, which includes serving as a state prosecutor, our Sarasota expungement lawyer understands what it takes to get the most favorable results for our clients.
Expungement means physically destroying a criminal record, although the Department of Law Enforcement is the only entity that has a confidential copy. By contrast, sealing means the general public cannot access the criminal record – only certain government agencies.
Expungement is available to individuals who were arrested but never charged or had their charges dismissed. Record sealing is available for those who were not convicted or had their adjudication of guilt withheld.
The process starts by filing an application with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to determine eligibility. The application must include a certified copy of your case’s disposition and your fingerprints.
If the agency determines you are eligible, you must file a petition with the court that originally handled your case. If the court grants your petition, you will not have to disclose your criminal charge when asked.
