Asked on Dec 23rd, 2012 on Expungements - Florida
More details to this question:
I was arrested as a minor about 4 years ago. I was originally charged with 3 felonies but they were all later reduced to misdemeanors. The charges were as follows 1 count of Trespassing 2 count of petit theft I am currently 21 and trying to join the Navy, but about 6 months earlier I was told by an army recruiter that I was not eligible. I was given the right to withhold of adjudication but haven't used it yet. My question is am I eligible for any military branch with the above outlined charges?

If you received a withhold of adjudication on these offenses, and you have no other misdemeanor or felony convictions at any point in the past, you may qualifiy to get your records sealed. This may help you qualify for the military. You should speak with an experience criminal defense attorney about the issue. If this occurred in Lee, Hendry, Charlotte, Desoto, Sarasota or Manatee counties, you can call my office and I will be happy to discuss it with you.
