Florida Expungements...

...is the culmination of many years of work in the area of sealing and expunging criminal arrests that have occurred in the State of Florida.  Being arrested starts a long process of what we typically think of as a criminal record.  What it really means is the bureaucratic morass of "public records."  An arrest (being booked into a jail) sends information to State agencies who then forward this information to the FBI.  Anytime anything is filed with government, including the County Clerk's Office, it becomes a public record - this includes all criminal files.  This means that today, in the information age, anyone with a computer can look up a criminal file online through the Clerk's website.  This information can have devastating effects on people wrongfully arrested and those that have paid their debt to society.
