Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
Can I get this felony removed from my record?
I plead no contest to a burglary of a dwelling and larceny charge when I was 17. The charge was adjudacated and sits on my juvenile record as a felony arrest not a conviction. The conviction was witheld. I am now 20 years old. Is there anyway of clearing my record?

Re: Can I get this felony removed from my record?
Because of a weird quirk in Florida law, almost no juvenile cases can be sealed, though, had you been prosecuted as an adult, your record could almost certainly be sealed.
The good news is that juvenile records are closed and erased at age 24.
Despite what I've said, though, check with a lawyer who concentrates his or her practice on sealing and expunction to make sure your case doesn't fall into one of the rare exceptions.
