Removing the Past
for a Better Tomorrow.

A person arrested in Miami-Dade County, Florida, must petition the court within the county for a criminal arrest record expungement or sealing. Find out if your Miami-Dade County arrest record qualifies to be sealed or expunged. We have represented people seeking record expungements and sealing in Miami and Hialeah and all of Miami-Dade County since 2002.

Miami courts rarely deny a petition to seal or expunge. This is usually because the State Attorney usually will not object unless the request teeters on the edge of the language of the law.

The Benefits of an Expunged or Sealed Record in Miami-Dade County

Florida law provides you with many benefits once your arrest record has been sealed or expunged. A criminal arrest record expungement or sealing destroys/removes official government records referring to your arrest from the public record. The public will no longer have access to your arrest information from online government sources, such as the Clerk of Court or Law Enforcement Agencies.

Additionally, private companies that sell public information will purge this information from their databases once they realize it is no longer a public record. This can be facilitated through notification or simply the passing of time.

You will have the legal ability to deny the arrest occurred. There are a few exceptions to this but this ability is one of the most powerful. Backing this up with a certified letter from the Clerk of Court indicating that no record exists is all that you should need.
