Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Re: expunging criminal records

In Fla. a person can only seal or expunge ONE case. Multiple cases can be sealed or expunged if they relate to the same incident. So, based on your question, as long as you've never been adjudicated guilty of ANY criminal offense you will be able to expunge ONE of your cases, but not all.
