Setting Your Record Straight
A criminal record can have a lasting and damaging impact long after any fines, penalties or sentences have been taken care of. Your record can hurt your opportunities for employment, for loans and for privacy.
At The Law Office of Garry L. Potts, P.A., in Clearwater, Florida, we work with people every day who have served their sentence and repaid their debt to society, and who simply want to be given the consideration and respect they deserve. By seeking an expungement or sealing of your criminal record, our lawyer works to help you clear your name and build a better future.
Know Your Options and Your Rights
If you have been convicted of a criminal charge in the State of Florida, that record can become a barrier to accomplishing long-term goals. The law provides a pathway to clearing your record of certain eligible misdemeanor and felony convictions.
When you call our office for information and support in expungements and record clearing, we can give you a realistic expectation about what options are available to you. We will review your criminal history and, if you are eligible, help you seek record-clearing options.
Certain criminal convictions are not eligible for expungement or sealing, such as child abuse, elder abuse and other violent felonies. Many other criminal convictions, such as DUI and theft crimes, are eligible if you have maintained a clean record over a mandated period of time after complying with any penalties associated with your conviction.
The best way to find out specific information regarding your individual case is to contact our attorney.
Consult With a Lawyer
If you think you may be eligible for an expungement to clear your name, consult with experienced and reliable legal counsel. If your goal is to be able to walk into a job interview and legally state that you have never been convicted of a crime, then record clearing may be an option for you.
