Re: Prior Conviction

Based on the information provided, you may qualify to have your record "sealed". When a criminal history record is sealed, the public will not have access to it. However, certain governmental or related entities, primarily those listed in s. 943.059(4)(a), Florida Statutes, have access to sealed record information in its entirety. This means that even though you may be able to have your record sealed, if you are applying for employment in law enforcement, they will be able to access your record. Should you need any further assistance in this matter, please contact my office.
