We have an extensive background both as prosecutors and criminal defense attorneys in Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough Counties and we’d be glad to speak with you about how to seal or expunge your record.

What Is Expungement & Record Sealing?

Sealing or expunging a criminal record in Florida is a process by which your arrest record may be concealed or removed from public view. Once your records have been sealed or expunged, they are removed from view by the general public, but they may still be seen by law enforcement agencies under certain circumstances.

Sealing a criminal record prevents the public from having access unless they have a court record. Only certain government officials may be able to see it. Expunging a criminal record prevents the public from seeing a record, as they will simply be told the record has been expunged if they request to see it.

Who is Eligible for Sealing or Expungement?

Certain types of offenses may be eligible for expungement or sealing, while others are not. It is recommended that you consult with a knowledgeable Clearwater criminal defense attorney who has experience handling the expungement and record sealing process.

  • A few examples of crimes which may be eligible include:
  • Petty, non-violent offenses
  • Juvenile offenses
  • Low-level drug crimes
