Can A Tampa DUI Attorney Get My Florida DUI Conviction Expunged?
Under Florida DUI law, when a record is expunged it is physically destroyed. However, one copy of every expunged record is kept with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). Under certain limited circumstances the FDLE can reveal the existence of the expunged record; however, it cannot reveal the contents of the record. On the other hand, when a record is sealed the record is not destroyed. Sealed records are maintained, but are only available to persons with special access, the general public is not able to view sealed records. If you want to keep your DUI conviction private, expungement will be the best method since the physical record is destroyed, unlike sealed records. Under Florida DUI law, expungement is very difficult to attain and you should consult a Tampa DUI attorney to determine if expungement is a viable option.
Florida DUI law has strict standards that must be met in order for a DUI record to be expunged. Seasoned Tampa DUI lawyers should be knowledgeable of the applicable Florida DUI Laws and be able to determine if a record is eligible for expungement. If the Tampa DUI attorney feels that a record is eligible he will apply for a Certificate of Eligibility from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. If the Certificate of Eligibility is granted by the FDLE the Tampa DUI lawyer will then have to petition the court to expunge the record. In some cases it may take up to 60 days for the court to expunge the record once the order is granted.
There are generally three requirements that must be met in order to be eligible to expunge a DUI conviction in Florida. If all three of the requirements are not met the expungement request made by the Tampa DUI lawyer will be denied. First off, the applicant must not have been convicted of another crime in a different state. For instance, if the person seeking expungement was convicted of assault in another state he will not be eligible for expungement in Florida. In addition, the defendant must not have a criminal record, which is already expunged in another state. Lastly, the person seeking expungement must not be under court supervision. For example, if the applicant is under probation he will be ineligible to have his Florida DUI record expunged. Satisfying all three requirements will not guarantee that a DUI conviction will be expunged. Getting a DUI conviction expunged in Florida is not easy, the Tampa DUI attorney must persuade the court that the expungement request is legally sound and proper.
