Recently, TILDEN LAW was hired by a former client who was charged with Violation of Probation in Seminole County, Florida.   Our client was on probation for DUI and was alleged to have driven on a suspended license creating a new law violation.  We entered a plea of not guilty to the charge and postponed the case long enough for our client to reinstate his driver license in time for his probation violation hearing.  As a result, we were able to convince the court to resolve the Seminole County probation violation charge with no additional jail time.

TILDEN LAW  receives numerous calls each week by people hoping to have their Florida criminal record expunged or sealed.  In early 2011, a Florida resident was charged with retail theft at a Wal-mart accused of theft of electronics.  The criminal theft charge was ultimately dismissed, however, he was left with a criminal arrest record for theft.  The only way to clear his record was to petition to have his Orange County Theft charge expunged.  After several months of negotations and numerous filings, the Orange County State Attorney agreed to the criminal record expungement.  As a result, he is now able to legally claim to have no criminal record to all private employers.

Our office is contacted numerous times per week regarding questions relating to domestic violence charges and defenses.  In late 2011, an individual was charged in Central Florida with domestic violence against his girlfriend while on vacation at a local theme park.  The allegations included both the victim and client consumed a large amount of alcohol and got into a argument.  Police were called to the scene and the vehicle driven by the defendant was stopped.  Injuries were observed on the victim including a black eye and numerous abrasions on her body.  The accused was later arrested and charged with criminal domestic violence battery.  It was determined that the victim did not want to press charges, however, the State Attorney decided to prosecute the case regardless of victim cooperation.  A declination of prosecution was prepared after the victim was interviewed and subsequently filed with the Clerk of Court and State Attorney’s office.  Negotiations with the State Attorney continued throughout the case which was set for trial.  Ultimately, the State Attorney agreed to dismiss the criminal domestic violence charges thereby allowing the client to petition for all criminal records to be expunged.

The first question people ask when they call my firm about clearing their criminal record is, “Do I qualify to have this charge erased off my record?”  The expungement process in Florida is governed by statute and the qualifications for eligibility are outlined therein.  To answer this question, you need to know:

(1)  What was the outcome or court disposition in your case.  To be eligible for a Florida expungement, the underlying case must have either been dismissed by the State Attorney or Court.  If you were found guilty by jury or of you entered a plea (adjudicated or withholding of adjudication) to the underlying charge, you are ineligible. 

(2)  Assuming your underlying case meets the requirement above by being dismissed, the next eligibility requirement is that you can not have ever been convicted (adjudicated guilty) of any other criminal charge in any state as an adult (regardless of passage of time).

(3)  The final expungement requirement is that you have never received any other criminal record expungement or sealing in your lifetime.  Florida allows only one criminal record expungement/sealing during your lifetime (even if the prior expungement/sealing was in a different state).
