Can I seal or expunge my petit (shoplifting) or grand theft case in Florida?

Unless you have been previously convicted of a crime (adjudicated guilty) there's a pretty good chance that you will qualify to have our theft case sealed or expunged. If the charges were dropped, dismissed, or if you were found not guilty, then the case can be expunged. Expunged means the case will be physically destroyed. If you took a plea and received a WITHHOLD OF ADJUDICATION then you will qualify to  have the case sealed. A sealed case is literally sealed with a big stamp on the file indicating SEALED, DO NOT OPEN WITHOUT COURT ORDER!". In both an expungement or a sealing, the clerk will remove all the case information from their database so it can't be found. The police, corrections dept., state attorney, or any public office will also remove the record from their system. If you wish to have your Florida theft charge sealed, please feel free to call me for a free case evaluation. My office has completed hundreds and hundreds of record sealing and expungemen...
