Local Law Firms Home > Criminal Defense Overview > Criminal Defense Sealing of Records and Expungement Depending on your location and the type of crime you committed, it may be possible to have your record expunged or sealed. It is important to keep in mind that both expungement and sealing differ from each other. A sealed criminal record cannot be viewed by the public, but it is still available for review by law enforcement officials. An expunged criminal record, however, is destroyed completely, with the exception of one copy kept by the FDLE. In either case of an expunged or sealed criminal record, they are both unavailable for viewing during public background checks or checks performed by employers. Are you seeking expungement or sealing of a criminal record? Our lawyers can help! Contact a local criminal defense attorney today to find out more about potentially sealing or expunging your criminal record.
