Your criminal record can be sealed and then eventually expunged with a withhold of adjudication. To qualify for this in Florida you cannot have a prior adjudication of guilt as an adult, or have been previously adjudicated delinquent as a minor. If you have been adjudicated delinquent or guilty in a prior criminal case you are not eligible to clear your Florida criminal history.  In the case of a withhold of adjudication, to seek eventual expungement you must first have your criminal record sealed, all the necessary documents can be acquired through the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). Once your charge(s) is sealed for 10 years you can then seek expungement of the charge(s).  In Florida you can only seek expunction once.  You are best served hiring an attorney to collect and complete all the necessary paperwork and make the proper motions to be heard in court.
