Regarding Florida expungement:
You can can records expunged or sealed in Florida if you meet the eligibility requirements:
1. Any prior convictions?
2. Any prior petitions to seal or expunge?
3. Currently under court supervision?
If you can answer “no” to the above three questions, and had your charged dropped/dismissed or received a withholding of adjudication, you are most likely eligible to seal or expunge in Florida. There are some exceptions. Search on the internet for Florida expungement and you will find a number of attorneys that offer free case evaluations and self help options.

How do I clear my Florida criminal record?
I have a criminal record from 8 years ago. How do I clear it? Does Florida let you expunge it? Are there “do it yourself” websites or good attorneys that can help?

D.A.’s offices love military veterans. Most d.a’s offices have a fairly high turnover and are looking for new prosecutors throughout the year. I am not familiar with the reputation of the d.a.’s offices in Florida (I’m from TX), but the reputation will make a difference. You are making a wise decision starting out at the d.a.’s office as you will get a lot of trial experience and you will be able to observe different defense attorney’s styles and strategies. I was offered a job at a D.a.’s office when I got out of law school, but I declined the job because the office policy was very much in opposition to my personal beliefs and I would’ve had to do things that I didn’t agree with on a deep intellectual level. If you gain a good reputation in the d.a.’s office, you will be able to command a job at the best defense attorneys’ offices in Florida. Good Luck!

LAWYERS:How can I work in the District Attorney’s office in Florida?
ok so I just took the lsat got a 155 with a 3.63 gpa just came out the military, and I am currently applying for law schools, im really betting on barry university in orlando fl. anyhow i want to practice criminal defense in florida, and after graduation i want to work in the district attorneys office to gain experience and see how the state prosecutes alledged offenders. So is it easy to get a job with them or is it very very competitive and also do they have veterans preference like other government jobs, just asking so I know what to expect. thanks for the advice

Past record of misdemeanors: Question for criminal attorney?
If potential employers run a routine background check on job seekers, how likely is it that minor convictions from another state will show up?
I have a guilty plea in Louisiana on on my record. I also have a “withhold of adjudication” (Florida) on my record, which is basically no-contest with a fine. I live in neither state.
Both offenses were misdemeanor trespassing — the equivalent of a minor ticket. But still, it would be better if employers would not see these if they are considering me for a job.
Thanks.

This is done through the courts. An attorney would be best to have. Not easy, but can be done.
