  2. If the Florida Department of Law Enforcement issues the Certificate of Eligibility, you will need to file a petition, affidavit, order, Certificate of Eligibility, and any other required documents with the court to expunge your Florida criminal record.
  3. Once the Florida judge signs the order expunging the Florida criminal history, the Florida Order to Expunge the Criminal Record must be sent to the agencies that have the Florida criminal record.

I have used the services of Mr. Goldman and his staff over the last several years and continue to use them on a regular basis. His office has been able to navigate the court system and help estates sell their property quickly and efficiently..." Michael Starling
