Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Re: Juvenile record question

You can petition to have the record sealed as long as the judge withheld adjudication and you have no other convictions. You can contact my office and I can quote you a fee for doing it for you.

Re: Juvenile record question

As long as you were not adjudicated delinquent (guilty) you will qualify to have the record sealed.

How did the case close out? Email me at [email protected]

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Normally, juvenile records are automatically sealed and should not show up on your criminal record once you reach the age of majority which is 18. If your past does affect you, then if adjudication was withheld and you only got probation, and have never been convicted of any other crime, you can have your records sealed or expunged. This will effectively clear your record for all but government agencies which can still see this information.
