Re: gun charge expungment?
Hello: I just read your question. The main thing you should know about the Fla. Statute on this issue is one can only seal a prior criminal record if he/she was NOT ADJUDICATED GUILTY of the charge OR OF ANY OTHER CHARGES in another case. Adjudication of guilt is a finding by the court at sentencing and would be written in the court file. If the court withheld adjudication of guilt, this is NOT a conviction and could be sealed so long as you never had any adjudications of guilt (convictions).
These cases are not that expensive for attorneys to handle (probably around $350.00). If my office can be of any assistance to you on this, let me know. Good luck, Tom Rosenblum

If you were adjudicated you cannot seal or expunge. If you have a withhold of adjudication it takes about 6 months and I charge 1500.00 all inclusive. Please call if I can help.
