Q: I live in Florida. In 2004 I was charged with a felony which resulted in a withhold of adjudication. I believe this case was sealed? In 2009 I was charged with another felony but this charge was dropped and shows as a Nolle Pross. Is there any way to have this second case removed from my record?
Thank you for your advice,
Brian
A: Hello Brian,
The only way to find out if the charge was sealed is to get a copy of your criminal history. You may want to get that anyway to be totally certain of your legal status when applying for jobs.
You can apply for sealing or expungement in Florida under certain conditions. You can get more information here:

This site offers instruction about how to get this done, but I wouldn't try it myself. My suggestion is to contact your local legal aid office for assistance. Often ex-offender and felon job searches require a little legal assistance. They have attorneys that may assist you at little or no cost. They may also be able to get a copy of your criminal record.
I hope this helps.
