If it resulted in any type of conviction then you're only remedy is to have the record sealed. If it was dismissed then you can seek an expungement. Feel free to call me.

Re: Expungement or record sealment

A criminal record expunction is preferable to a sealing since it is more comprehensive. Having said that, it will depend upon a number of different factors to determine whether you will qualify. You are only allowed one sealing or expunction during your lifetime. Feel free to contact my office located in Winter Park, and i will be happy to discuss the particulars with you.
