Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
Expunging criminal record
Can I still request to have my record expunged for a felony of mine that I plead 'no contest' to. I do not have any priors or any other legal matters pending.

Re: Expunging criminal record
Most likely you will not be able to have the record expunged but you may be able to have it sealed. An expungement is only allowed when a case is either not filed, or dismissed for some other reason.
As long as adjudication was withheld then you would be eligible for a record sealing.

Re: Expunging criminal record
I agree with Mr. Garvin. If you plead no contest, the best relief you would be allowed to seek would a "sealing" of your arrest record. However, you would have had to have received a "withhold of adjudication" from the court.
Please check out my website where I have an entire page on Sealing and Expungements in the State of Florida.
Good luck,
Aaron J. Slavin, Esq.
