Sealing Records in Weston, FL

Are You Interested in Expunging Your Criminal Record?

Having an arrest or conviction on your record will haunt you far longer than the initial criminal consequences will last. Even years later, you may find that employers, landlords, or other individuals deny you for having a record. When a background check is done on your name, they will be able to see the public information about your crime. If you are interested in finding relief through having your record sealed or expunged, reach out to a Weston criminal defense attorney from the Law Office of Kevin F. Moot.

Am I Eligible for Expungement?

There are certain types of convictions which can never be expunged from your record, such as certain felonies and sex crimes. However, there are certain crimes and circumstances which may qualify for expungement.

• A few examples of situations which may qualify you for expungement include:
• First offenses under the age of 21, if there were no subsequent offenses (does not count sexual offenses)
• Completion of a diversion program or community service program
• If the charges against you were dismissed or proceedings were discharged
• If "not guilty" verdict was returned by the jury or by the judge
• If you were arrested, but never formally charged with a crime
