Orlando Expungement Attorney

Expunge Your Criminal Record

If you have a criminal record, an experienced attorney at our office may be able to help you obtain an expungement. Expungement, sometimes called record sealing, is the process of having criminal charges removed from your record. After your record has been expunged, it will be as if you were never charged or arrested for the crime. Although your record will not be completely destroyed, it will prevent anyone from founding out about your criminal history, should they conduct a background investigation. For this reason, there are many benefits to getting your criminal record expunged, some of which include:

Finding a job or seeking a promotion. If you come across a question on a job application that asks, “Have you ever been charged or convicted of a crime,” you can honestly answer, “No.”
Should you be arrested or charged with a crime in the future, an expungement may prevent enhanced penalties
It will be easier to qualify for a loan, obtain credit, get into college, take advantage of certain housing options, etc.
For your own peace of mind

Although expungement is an excellent option, unfortunately not everyone will qualify. In order to qualify for an expungement, you must meet the following requirements:

You were never convicted of a crime
This is your first time applying for an expungement
You are not on probation
You successfully completed the terms of your probation
