Have you made a mistake? Have you been arrested for some small crime that shouldn't really have any bearing on your professional life? Believe it or not, even if you are found not guilty of a crime, you can still end up paying the price years later! Why? This is the way our society is built
Let's say you find yourself arrested for something you didn't do, and later on you are found not guilty and released. You might be free, and you might know that you are innocent, but later you're going to need a job, and when you fill out that application it may ask: "Have you ever been arrested?" You HAVE to answer this truthfully, and when you do, the employer will probably see you as a criminal or troublemaker. In other words, they are not going to hire you; they are going to throw your application aside and go on to the next.
What happens next? How do you go on with your life? It doesn't seem fair that you should suffer for the rest of your life just because the legal system made a mistake! The law offices of Joffe & Joffe believe that you should have a second chance. You should be able to pick up the pieces of your life and get the job you really want.
In the state of Florida it is entirely possible to have your criminal record expunged and sealed forever. Something to note however is that having a record expunged is not quite the same as having it sealed. In some cases a judge would issue an adjudication of your guilty plea. In other words, you have been found guilty but you will not be convicted. This still hurts your record in ways that you cannot imagine, and the problem is that a guilty verdict can never be expunged. If you were found not guilty however, it CAN be expunged, and you can go on with your life. Listed below are a few of the other circumstances under which your record might be expunged.
-All of the charges against you were dropped by the state
-The jury declared you not guilty
-There was no action taken against you in court
The first thing you will need to do is contact the offices of Joffe & Joffe. They will walk you through the necessary process to receive your Certificate of Eligibility. This is a certificate that declares you are qualified to have your felony record expunged. At that point, the next step in the process will take place.
The next step of course is preparing a petition to expunge your Florida Criminal Record. A hearing will take place, and your lawyer will convince the judge that the state should have no interest in keeping that criminal record exposed. Unbelievably, the state will often have no interest in maintaining a criminal record if you were proven not guilty or one of the other two outcomes occurred at your trial.
With experienced and highly trained lawyers in the areas of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Naples, and even Tampa, you are certain to have that record expunged no matter which area of the peninsula you happen to be from. The only question left is whether you are ready to resume living a normal life.
One of the best things about expunge criminal record is that you will not be required to reveal your past record except under a few limited circumstances. Unlike having your record sealed, expunging your criminal record will DESTROY the paperwork. It's as if it never happened. If you want to find out whether or not you need to have a record expunged, then it's time to make a call.
Don't wait. One of the mistakes people tend to make is procrastination. Yes, you will be able to expunge criminal record at any time, but why should you wait to expunge record? Why should you put your life on hold for any longer? You need a job, you need money, and you need to move on with your life. If you have been accused of a crime, then that crime is running your life! It is consuming every ounce of your well being and determining the way in which you life. You should be able to live life on your own terms, not the terms this faulty accusation gives you.
