DUI arrest on criminal record
In 1995 I was arrested for a DUI, the case was dissmissed, but it is on my criminal record, if I wasn't convicted shouldn't I not have a record ? Can I get it taken off ?

If the charges were dismissed or the State nolle pros the case, you may file a motion to expunge with a certification of eligibility from FDLE.

Re: DUI arrest on criminal record
I just read your question and one response. The response suggests expunging the record. I am not sure expunging is available as a remedy. I'd have to look at the statute on that. I know the same statute covers sealing a record. If you have never been adjudicated guilty on any previous crime or one in the case you are trying to seal, you can file a petition to seal the record. There is an application fee to FDLE of $75.00. You need to go by a branch office of a police dept. and get a finger print card. This is pursuant to Fla. Stat. 943.0585. You can look this up by googling Fla. statutes. 'Hope this helps. If my office can be of assistance to you in North Fla., please give us a call. Tom Rosenblum
