QUESTION
If I completed a court ordered diversion program and was never officially convicted of the crime, can I get the case/file expunged?
Asked on Nov 11th, 2020 on DUI/DWI - Florida
More details to this question:
I am interested in getting my dropped case expunged but I am getting conflicting info. Please help. I have completed the diversion program, I waived my right to a speedy trial. On my case there is no plea and was never convicted of my DUI. I have completed all terms of my diversion program (fees, probation, etc.) Will I still be eligible for the case/file to be expunged?

If you finished a diversion program, then you may be eligible to have your case "sealed", but not expunged. But the difference is minimal from your perspective. You are only eligible if you have never been adjudicated guilty of any other criminal case. You must apply to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for a "Certificate of Eligibility." there are more details here: FDLE Sealing of Record Page
