Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

In 2006 I had a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge as well as a felony marijuana possession with intent to distribute. This was the same instance. It was in 4 bags less than a 1/2 ounce caused by a traffic stop while I wasn't the driver. I promptly went through pre trial intervention and had the case dismissed. When I look at public records it shows ADCC for the felony and PTID for the misdemeanor. I assume that the two cases were merged and when I finished my PTI the case was dropped. Since that time I have had the hardest time getting even the lowest of all jobs. Despite not having a "criminal record" my mugshot is the first thing you see when you look up my name. Is it worth going through the steps to expunge my record? What is the process for doing this in Florida?

It is definitely worth it to get your charge sealed or expunged. The clerk and Sheriff would be forced to remove that information from their website. So long as you have not been convicted of anything else, you should be able to take care of this. My firm handles these all the time so feel free to contact me.
