Expungements Serving Families Throughout Jacksonville For Over 25 Years

Jacksonville DUI Expungement Attorney

Do You Need to Clean Your Criminal Record?

If you have ever been arrested, you may be surprised to know that any member of the public may learn about the arrest by requesting a copy of your criminal record. It does not matter whether you were ever convicted! This may hurt you as you apply for scholarships, jobs, licenses and loans. Happily though, upon petition, the state of Florida allows certain arrests in which charges were dropped or adjudication of guilt was withheld (non-convictions) to be sealed or expunged.

This means that when people search your criminal record, they learn nothing. If they ask you, you may legally deny the matter. A Jacksonville DUI attorney may give you effective help with sealing or expungement of your record. We believe everyone deserves a second chance. Comprised of three former DUI prosecutors, we are ready to assist you to clean your record.

You may be eligible for expungement if you:

  • Were arrested but never convicted;
  • Had a case resulting in a withhold of adjudication;
  • Never had a prior sealing or expungement; or
  • Had a charge not on the list of charges ineligible for expungement

Helping with Expungements in Jacksonville

When you come to us, we review your criminal record to assess whether you have a reasonable chance of expungement. Upon petition to the court, the matter is submitted to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to determine eligibility. With a positive FDLE determination, the court may approve your petition for expungement.

From that point on the public may not access your record. Public officials on checking the record will only see a note saying there has been an expungement. Upon expungement you will no longer have to worry about colleges, employers and loan companies checking your criminal record. You can answer "no" with confidence and legality.

Serving Jacksonville, FL Since 2004

    "Although I hope to never need their services again, if I do, I will definitely be giving them a call."
    First and foremost, everyone from staff to the attorneys are all great!! I first started with the firm in 2015 and due to my own circumstances, I was unable to complete the needed court requirements in order to finalize my case. The amount I paid to retain an attorney was placed in a trust and they assured me it would be there until I completed my requirements. 4 years later they kept their word and finalized my case once I completed my needed court requirement. Everything was professional and in a timely fashion on their behalf. They also found a second issue that needed to be resolved and also completed that for me. Although I hope to never need their services again, if I do, I will definitely be giving them a call. Thank you, everyone!

    "I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend him!"
    He represented me on a VOP case this year. HE, I and the prosecutor knew it was some bull basically. I was a week away from completing my 10 yrs of probation when they tried to Violate me. Mr porter told me before I even made him my lawyer that he would get this case handled in my favor and that’s exactly what he did ! And got it done in a reasonable time without me having to travel back to Florida being that I was living in NJ ! I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend him!

    "I am grateful to have received such a terrific recommendation, and I'm happy to have met Mr. Watson."
    Mr. Richard Watson was recommended to me by a friend after I was in a car accident. With no prior experience with auto accidents in Florida, I had to learn about PIP, settling with the at-fault driver's insurance company, working with my own health insurance company, and the subrogation process. Mr. Watson was responsive and professional, he offered guidance that assured me I understood each step of the process and was diligent about communication at each step. I am grateful to have received such a terrific recommendation, and I'm happy to have met Mr. Watson. I highly recommend him and the Porter firm.
