Vero Beach Record Sealing And Expungement Lawyer

If you have a criminal record, it may turn up at the most inopportune moments. Employers, landlords and educational institutions may deny you opportunities because of a prior arrest, acquittal or even dismissed criminal charges.

At Adam Chrzan, Attorney At Law, I have over two decades of legal experience that I can put to use to help you, including six years when I worked as a prosecutor on the Treasure Coast and handled over 100 jury trials. I understand the process to expunge or seal records in Port St. Lucie, Florida, and can help you secure the clean slate you deserve.

How Can You Clear Your Background Check Records?

You may not have realized that any brush with the criminal justice system can turn up during a background check. Interested parties can find records of your arrest or the charges you faced but defeated.

You may need the help of a Port St. Lucie expungement lawyer to address the records that turn up during a criminal background check. Florida allows for the removal or expungement of records, depending on whether the case went to trial or not. You can request expungement for arrests, dismissed charges and criminal cases that resulted in an acquittal.

You generally need to have a clear record before the arrest or charges and must not have any subsequent charges. To be eligible, you must secure a Certificate of Eligibility from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. You must submit all necessary documentation to the state attorney’s office in the county where the arrest occurred. You also need to petition the courts. The process can take up to nine months. So, having legal guidance through the process is crucial.

Cutting Through Bureaucratic Red Tape

Trying to seal a criminal record in Florida can be a challenging process. My experience in Treasure Coast criminal law can help you navigate the complex expungement process.

If you want to move on from a prior legal matter and get a fresh start, expungement is often the most effective solution to ensure you can pass background checks. I can help you with every step of the process so that you can live your life instead of trying to learn the nuances of criminal court procedures.
