Criminal Record Sealing and Expungement - Generally.
If ever arrested, you may now realize that the criminal arrest record (police and court) arising from your arrest can cause you problems in employment,
housing, and other situations when a Florida criminal background check is done. Even if you received a withhold of adjudication and were not convicted,
the criminal record may still be causing you problems. If you qualify, sealing or expunging your criminal arrest (police and court) records is a low cost
way of improving your life. Once the sealing or expungement of your Florida criminal record is granted by the court, the withhold of adjudication or dismissal
of your felony, misdemeanor, or other criminal charge will no longer be available as a public record as it will be sealed or expunged. Also, if you seal or expunge
the Florida criminal record, you gain the LEGAL right to deny or fail to acknowledge anything to do with the arrest and the legal proceedings from the case itself.

How Much Does Sealing or Expunging A Florida Criminal Record Cost?
Our office charges $599.00 or $499.00 (student and military rate) plus clerk/court costs of between $40-60 (depending on which Florida county your case is in) and a Florida Dept of Law Enforcement fee of $75.00 to seal or expunge your Florida criminal record. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement $75.00 fee is for the processing of your application for certificate of eligibility which is mandatory. Feel confident that your case will be handled exclusively by an experienced expungement attorney! See our GUARANTEE at the bottom of this page.
The cost to seal a felony is the same cost as a misdemeanor as the process to seal or expunge felony or misdemeanor records is the same. Cases outside of Miami Dade or Broward Counties may require an additional $100.00 travel and appearance fee and therefore the cost may be slightly higher if the court in your county requires an in-person final hearing. Most cases do not require an in-person final hearing. To determine if you qualify, please go to our Sealing and Expungement page. If still not sure whether you qualify to expunge or seal your felony, misdemeanor, juvenile, or traffic (DUI, reckless driving, driving while license suspended) case, feel free to call us, email us, or fill out our free consultation form for a free evaluation of your case.

COMPLETION TIME: Please keep in mind that sealing or expunging a record can take 5-7 months on average. The sooner you start the sooner it will be done. We are often asked if it can be done faster. The answer is no. Also, there is no extra fee you can pay to get it done faster either. There are several agencies that must be dealt with in order to complete this legal process and each one of them takes their own respective time to complete their part. BEWARE of any attorney that promises that they can complete this in 3 or 4 months. Ask them to put their promise in writing!
