Seal

Florida Statute 943.059 allows the sealing of criminal records.  If the court withheld adjudication of guilt, you are eligible to seal your record.  However, if you have previously sealed or expunged a charge you are ineligible.

Expunge

Florida Statute 943.0585 allows criminal records to be expunged when charges are dropped by the state.  Further, if trial results in a “not guilty” verdict then expungement is also possible.
