How can I get a criminal record sealed or expunged?

Florida Statutes sections 943.0585 and 943.059 set forth the criteria that must be met in order to be eligible to have a criminal history record sealed or expunged.

In addition, these statutes also state that in order to have a criminal history record sealed or expunged in Florida, an individual must first make application to the FDLE for a Certificate of Eligibility.

Please note that the issuance of a Certificate of Eligibility does not mean that your criminal history record will be ordered sealed or expunged. It just indicates that you are statutorily eligible for the type of relief that is being requested.

If you are interested in getting your criminal record sealed or expunged in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, St. Lucie County, Martin County, Palm Beach County, Broward County, or Miami-Dade County, please call me, attorney Ron Chapman, at 561-832-4348 to discuss your case and see how I might be able to help you.
