Felony Conviction Florida

[FloridaManA]

Hello,

I was charged with 2 felonies over 20 years ago in Florida. Sadly, at the time I had little money to afford legal representation and was quickly push through a system that cared little for a kid like me.

Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer (no contest conviction)
Criminal mischief (withhold of adjudication)

While I'd be happy to share my sob story of having a run in with the wrong cops at the wrong time - I'll spare you the bloody details and simply ask what I came here to ask.

Am I 100% disqualified from having my record sealed or expunged? What are my options? Seems like clemency is a long shot...

Not going to do your homework for you, but below is a link that should give you everything you need to know about expunging convictions in Florida, including statutory references that you'll have to look up to see if you're eligible.

Note, this is in no way an endorsement of this particular attorney but he has a summary of important information on his page.
