What charges may not be sealed or expunged?
Florida law prohibits certain crimes or charges from being sealed or expunged. Additionally if a person has been adjudicated guilty of any criminal offense the record is ineligible for sealing or expungement. Criminal traffic offenses such as DUI, Driving While License Suspended/canceled/revoked, or reckless driving cannot be sealed or expunged. Although non-criminal traffic offenses (such as careless driving) have no affect on eligibility to seal or expunge a criminal history record, they too cannot be sealed or expunged. Attorney Mark Anthony Gager can discuss with you and explain which charges are able to be sealed or expunged and which ones cannot. Since the legislature frequently adds charges to the list of those which cannot be sealed or expunged, it is important to have an attorney who keeps current on these legal changes.
