If you have been arrested for domestic battery in Florida, you may be wondering if it’s possible to expunge that arrest from your record. This is a common concern, as a domestic battery arrest can have lasting repercussions on your personal and professional life. Understanding your options is crucial. Our law firm regularly represents individuals seeking to expunge the record of their arrest for “Domestic Battery” throughout the State of Florida.
Expungement is the legal process that allows individuals to remove and/or destroy certain criminal records. However, not all arrests or convictions are eligible for expungement, and domestic battery cases can be particularly complex. This is because it involves your lawyer, the State Attorney, the Clerk of the Court, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
In Florida, if you were arrested for domestic battery but were not convicted—meaning the charges were dropped, dismissed, or you were acquitted—you may be eligible for expungement. However, if you pled to a domestic battery offense, even if you received a “Withhold of Adjudication,” you are not eligible to seal or expunge the record of the arrest.
Navigating the expungement process can be challenging, especially with the nuances of domestic battery cases. A knowledgeable Florida expungement lawyer can help assess your specific situation, guide you through the eligibility requirements, and assist with the necessary paperwork.
