Expungement physically destroys the criminal record, making it as if the event never happened, while Record Sealing places the record under lock and key, making it unavailable to the public.

“This was my first case with the Umansky Law Firm and they handled everything exceptionally well. My attorney, Quanejha ‘Q’ Erwin, was incredible. She went above and beyond and achieved an outcome I never expected. Professional, caring, and always on top of things. I would recommend her and this firm to anyone facing a difficult situation.”

“Words cannot express how grateful I am that I found Attorney Stephanie Raton for my son. She knew exactly what to do and went above and beyond. My son was in a tough situation in Polk County and she was able to get him out of jail quickly. Amazing team. I would hire them again without hesitation.”

When seeking to seal or expunge your record, every detail matters. Our team provides clear guidance, honest communication, and expert advocacy to ensure your petition is successful and your past remains private.
Am I eligible to have my criminal record sealed or expunged in Florida?
You are generally eligible if you have only one arrest for a specific incident that did not result in a conviction, or if the case was dropped, dismissed, or acquitted.
Can I seal or expunge a felony conviction in Florida?
No, Florida law prohibits the sealing or expungement of any case that resulted in a conviction, whether it was a felony or a misdemeanor.
What is the first step in the expungement process?
The essential first step is obtaining a Certificate of Eligibility from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), which confirms that your case meets the state's requirements.
What are the main benefits of sealing or expunging a record?
The primary benefit is being able to lawfully deny the existence of the arrest and court record to most private employers and educational institutions.
