Brought to you by the Law
Offices of Jason R. Kovan P.A.
The Law Offices of
Jason R. Kovan P.A. represent clients STATEWIDE in
sealing or expunging Florida criminal records.
When you seal or expunge a Florida
criminal record, the record does not show up on a criminal background check.
Effects of a
Criminal Record
Your
life changes the moment you are
arrested.
Even if you were not convicted of a crime, society looks
at you as if you are guilty. When your
criminal record
appears in the court records
system or the law enforcement database,
this is a major strike against your character.
Removing the criminal record
from public databases
is a huge step towards protecting your rights and
reputation.
How Does Sealing or
Expunging a
Criminal Record Help
You?
If you have ever been arrested, you may or may not
realize the full extent of damage that this Florida criminal record can
cause to your life. You can lose your job, not be
hired, be rejected for mortgage loans, credit
applications, pursuing business interests, and socially
such as dating.
Any person or company conducting a background search can
discover your Florida criminal record on the internet
UNLESS you seal or expunge your
Florida criminal arrest
record!
Seal or Expunge
Your Criminal Record and 'Erase Your Arrest' From a Background
Investigation
If you qualify, we can seal or expunge your
Florida arrest
record which will remove one criminal
record from both the
court records and law enforcement databases.
Your Florida criminal record will be 'erased' from
Florida public records.
Can
Anyone Seal A Florida Criminal Record?
Not everyone qualifies to have their
Florida criminal record sealed or
expunged. However, if you do qualify, sealing or
expunging your Florida criminal arrest record is one of the most
important steps you can take to improve your life.
I Want To Get Started - Do I Qualify?
I Want to 'Seal My Florida

STEP 1 - Do You Qualify
to Seal or Expunge a Criminal Record? Here are the basic requirements:

or expunged before (You get 1 shot at the apple in
your life);
- You must not currently have a petition
pending before another court asking for an
criminal
record to be sealed or expunged;
- You must not currently be under court
supervision (probation, community control, etc.)
- You must not have been adjudicated guilty
or pled nolo contendre to the charges you want to

How Long Does It Take?
It takes at least 5 months to
seal or expunge
your criminal record. We cannot make
this go faster, because the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement averages around 5 months to process the
required paperwork.
However, the good news is, if you meet the
qualifications and have the desire, you can seal or
expunge your criminal arrest record!
How Much Does Sealing
or Expunging
A Florida Criminal
Record Cost?
Our office charges $450.00 plus clerk/court costs between $40.00-$60.00
(depending on which Florida county your case is in) to
seal or expunge your criminal record.
We also have payment plans, but performance of services
are conditioned upon full payment.
In order to petition the court to seal or expunge
your Florida criminal record, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement
must make a determination of eligibility. The
Florida Department of Law Enforcement charges $75.00 for
the service of processing your application and to then
issue a Certificate of Eligibility to seal or
expunge your Florida criminal record.
