Hi Ian needing assistance in getting my records expunged the last drug chargesl I had was in 20011 in which I was prosecuted in 2012 for it I did my time and got out of prison in August 8, 2012. I also have charges in another county where someone put some items into my purse while I was outdide of my vehicle, I take full responsibility of everything because it was in my possession at the time but I had no knowledge of that very first incident buy we all was doing our dirt. So I was just as guilty.

Florida law prohibits the expungement of any Florida conviction. If the defendant has ever been convicted of a crime in Florida, then Florida law also prohibits the expungement of any other criminal offense to which a defendant pled or was found guilty at trial even if adjudication was withheld. If a defendant has been sentenced to prison, Florida law requires the sentencing judge to adjudicate the Defendant. So any defendant who has been sentenced to prison would be ineligible in Florida for an expungement of any charge - regardless of whether or not adjudication was withheld.
