The journey to sealing or expunging a criminal record in the State of Florida can be a complex process, but it represents a pivotal step towards a fresh start and a clear future. Understanding the nuances of eligibility, the types of records that can be cleared, and the frequency with which these actions can be taken is crucial for individuals seeking to leave their past transgressions behind. THEAMLAWYERS, P.A., with their extensive experience in handling such cases in Orlando and throughout Central Florida, stands as a beacon of hope for many looking to navigate this legal labyrinth.

Eligibility for Criminal Record Sealing and Expungement in Florida

In Florida, the eligibility for sealing or expunging a criminal record is governed by specific criteria. To qualify, an individual must have been arrested in Florida and have no open criminal cases, including pending trials or pretrial diversions. It is essential that they have never been adjudicated guilty of a crime, which differs from pleading guilty; this is also distinct from having adjudication withheld. Furthermore, all terms of probation must be completed if ordered.

Types of Criminal Records That May Be Expunged in Florida

Not all criminal records are eligible for expungement or sealing in Florida. Generally, individuals may be eligible if they were arrested but not convicted of a crime, acquitted of the charges, completed a pretrial diversion program, or received a withhold of adjudication for certain offenses. However, serious crimes such as violent offenses, sexual offenses, and crimes involving minors are not eligible for expungement or sealing.

Frequency of Criminal Record Sealing or Expungement

Florida law stipulates that an individual can only seek one expungement or sealing order for one adult criminal proceeding in a lifetime, with the exception being if the person seeks to expunge a record that's been sealed for 10 years. This underscores the importance of ensuring that the process is done correctly the first time, highlighting the value of experienced legal counsel.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'd like to thank Pedro and Gilbert very much. I came in with an injunction, which they handled. Then she tried to convict me of a felony, in which took a long time of them fighting it and filing motions to get the felony dismissed. I really do appreciate their help and would recommend them to anybody here in Orlando that needs help in criminal domestic violence cases.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 6 months ago I was arrested for allegedly speeding under the new super speeder law, and when Pedro Matos took my case he was there with me every step of the way, I was facing 10 days in jail and Pedro was able to dismiss with just a ticket. If you have any open criminal charges and need a lawyer I strongly recommend Pedro Matos and his colleagues they will take care of you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Raul was on a completely different level. He didn’t just show up, he showed up prepared, polished, and fully in command. The way he carried himself immediately established credibility and control. You could tell within minutes that he takes his role seriously and operates with precision.

What impressed me most was the calm assurance he brought into the situation. There was never a moment of hesitation. Every move felt deliberate, strategic, and backed by experience. He handled matters with a confidence and command that made it clear we were in capable hands.

It’s rare to encounter someone who combines professionalism, presence, and execution the way Raul does. The experience exceeded my expectations, and I would recommend him without reservation to anyone seeking strong, decisive legal representation.

Truly top-tier.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough good things about my attorney, Raul. He walked in looking like a million bucks, composed, sharp, and completely prepared. He carried himself with undeniable authority; his presence alone demanded respect.

From the very beginning, Raul went above and beyond. He handled everything with a level of security and confidence that I genuinely cannot describe and have rarely seen in my life. His professionalism, command of the room, and strategic approach immediately put me at ease.

What an amazing experience from start to finish. I recommend him above and beyond any lawyer I have ever worked with. If you are looking for someone who combines expertise, confidence, and true leadership, Raul is the one.

Highly recommended.
