If you have a criminal record in Florida, it can destroy your future. Perhaps you made a mistake years ago or were in the wrong place at the wrong time. The charges may have been dropped later on or the case could have been dismissed, but it will stay on your record. Anyone will be able to access it and make judgments about you.
With a criminal record, you’ll have greater challenges ahead, making it harder to:
Cleaning up your record with a record expungement may be an option, depending on the facts of your previous criminal matter. With a record expungement, your record can be deleted in whole or part. This process ensures it will not show up in almost all background checks, making it easier for you to move forward with your life in a positive direction.
If you wish to expunge your criminal record, this lengthy process is something that attorney Jonathan Blecher can help you through. Call today to discuss your situation in complete confidentiality.
Once you are arrested, your mugshot will be accessible to anyone through a simple search on the internet. For many, one small error in the past can burden them for years to come through these arrest photos. You may be trying to start a new career, buy a home, or get approved for a rental property, and this unflattering portrayal of you can cast doubt upon your current character.
Mugshots online are particularly problematic because they can be posted even if you are not found guilty of a crime. It’s not fair since mugshots are taken at the time of arrest, and whether or not you are formally charged with a crime, they stay on the internet forever.
With the help of an attorney, you may also be able to have your record expunged or sealed if your case was dismissed for the following crimes:
Not all mugshot removal websites are regulated and often, many are unsuccessful in completely erasing this part of your past. With the help of Jonathan Blecher, you can remove this haunting relic from your record and start fresh again. Schedule a no-cost case review to discuss how you can have your mugshot permanently removed from the internet.
