A few years back I got myself into a big mess. It was my first time. I hired a lawyer, he said I’m able to get an expungement once everything was done , paid him I completed the diversion program. It’s been a year I haven’t gotten the expungement I haven’t been able to contact him because I heard he quit practice. I’m not sure how to go from here and get that expungement....
My recommendation would be to consult with an attorney to help you with an expungement - if you're sure you want one. Sometimes there can be reasons not to get an expungement. So an attorney could discuss that with you also.
If you are not in a financial position to retain an attorney, you could go on-line to obtain information about how to get an expungement. You will need to go through the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) in Tallahassee to get confirmation that you're eligible for an expungement. Again, you should be able to go on-line to learn how to do that. You could try to pull up the FDLE web-site; it should have information on how to proceed to get an expungement.
