I have a misdemeanor on my record sealed and I am now seeking admission to the Florida Bar. How do I go about opening the record for them to view?

Here is a good one...1979 I was in the wrong place, wrong time. Drove from Sarasota to Ft. Lauderdale to see a friend. While waiting for them to get home from work, I drove around A1A. I stopped at a light and asked a guy on the street what time it was, (pre clocks in cheap toyota corollas) he told me, asked if I wanted to buy some weed. I did not, then drove away. I did not know he was under surveillance and that they were coming for him and me as I turned on to A1A to go to friends house. I was arrested and ultimately charged with Obstructing Justice W/O violence. Case dismissed. this is not Adjudication right? WOuld this present an issue for FREC? I am applying for Real estate License. I can't image it would, but do I need to disclose it? Thanks

Back in 1995, I had a petty theft and adjudication withheld. I completed everything that was given to me, and have never done anything thing else I wont go into details but I'm not the one who stole I was the one who took the fall for it, I'm looking to get a job as a bank teller will this stop me from getting the job? And if so what can I do to change it? Thank you.

I had my felony record sealed in 2010. I am trying to get a job at Department of Children and Families in an emergency shelter. They told me they'd be doing a federal background check and a live scan background check. Will this come up?

I know it can take up to a year for public records to be sealed or expunged, but while the process is going on, will the records still be open to the public?

What if I got arrested in another state other than Florida. Can I still get my criminal history expunged?

I was a victim of a fraudulent petition for a restraining order for stalking that was dismissed without prejudice as the complainant failed to show at the hearing. Is it possible to get the court record expunged or sealed? I'm concerned future potential employers may be hesitant in hiring me having doubt about the allegation of stalking.

In 2007 I was arrested for unemployment compensation fraud and "grand theft". I had just missed 2 payments and they arrested me for that. I was in the middle of finishing my Bachelor's degree in education. My records were expunged but I was once told that the Miami Dade County public schools can see that expunged record. Is this true? What can I do?

I am specifically interested in the effect of a sealing or expungement as it pertains to obtaining an insurance adjuster's license in the state of Florida.

I had adjudication withheld on several felonies in 2008 when I was 18. I'm currently in college studying criminal justice. I want to be a probation officer am I still able to do that with my background?

If I was arrested for aggravated assault, my charge was downgraded to simple battery and adjudication withheld may I get that record sealed?

Hello.. I have a criminal felony in Orlando, FL and I wanted to know if it's best to get my criminal record sealed, with the online 30 companies (for apartments doing background checks) or getting my criminal felony sealed for everywhere in the US? Note: it's mainly for apartments/housing. Thank you.

After your case is granted, the court clerk serves a copy of the granted order on all law enforcement agencies who hold records of your case, including the county sheriff's office. Upon receipt of the granted order, a sheriff's office usually will update the records within 60 days, though depending on how busy their records department is, it could be done much more quickly than that. If your information has not been removed 60 days after the sealing was granted, I would recommend contacting the Sheriff's Office to ensure the order has been received and is being processed.

I had my record sealed in Marion County, Florida. How long does it take for the Marion County Sheriff's Office to comply and remove my information from their jail viewer, which is visible to the public?

My 1999 arrest record has been expunged and I am a medical professional for the elderly in Florida. Am I required to explain my expunged arrest record to my employer?

Not all traffic offenses are disqualifying offenses. The best thing to do to determine if you are eligible to expunge your Florida record is take our online eligibility test or call us. You can also apply with the FDLE for an eligibility certificate.

I was convicted of a petty theft charge in Florida back in 2011. One of them was withheld. However, I do have other traffic charges that I was convicted of. Will I be able to get the petty theft charge expunge/sealed? I heard that if you only have one guilty then you can. I don't know how true it is,. I'm trying to go to school to become a CNA, but I need to handle this issue before hand. Is there any way out of this situation?

Unfortunately, under a recent law change in Florida in 2009, Chapter 817 (fraudulent acts) cases are considered disqualifying for medical licenses. For the exact language of the law, please see: http://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/S... Because of this law and the fact that you must disclose sealed and expunged cases to the Department of Health, which oversees the Board of Respiratory Care, it seems that you will run into problems when applying for a license. However, this is a very complicated issue and we do not specialize in medical licensing in Florida. I would recommend checking with the Board directly regarding your exact situation; you can even ask questions through their website at http://floridasrespiratorycare... or you can contact an attorney who handles this specific type of issue on a regular basis as they may be able to help you better navigate the license application process.

That is a great question. While a case that has been dismissed presents fewer problems for someone seeking employment, getting a job with a bank is a whole other obstacle. Under Section 19 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the related rules and regulations, banks will consider and be required to notify the FDIC about both convictions and charges that resulted in a Pretrial Diversion program. While there are exceptions and waivers that can be obtained in order to secure a job in the banking industry, you may also be eligible to expunge your case. If the case is completely expunged, it would no longer pose the same problems with respect to the FDIC and obtaining a job in the banking industry. Please take our online eligibility test to determine if your case is eligible for an expungement or contact our office to discuss your case further, regarding both the Florida expungement and your concerns with employment in the banking industry.

I am in florida and about 7 years ago my case was adjudicated withheld and 3 1/2 years ago it was sealed by a judge. I am now trying to obtain my state license for respiratory. Since it fell under statute 817, does this mean that I will not be eligible for hire?

In 2008 I was charged with grand theft. Then I went through court, completed the PTI program and paid restitution so they dismissed my case. When I look at my record I see nolle prosequi. Can I get a job working in a bank with nolle prosequi on my record?
