NO COURT APPEARANCES FOR VACATIONERS

All of the counties in Northwest Florida enjoy an economy driven by tourism. Unfortunately, some of our vacationers are accused of breaking the law on occasion. If you have been accused of a crime while on vacation you may not have to return for court appearances. If your DUI or Misdemeanor Offense will result in a plea bargain without jail time, it is possible to avoid having to return to Florida. It may even be possible to avoid making any court appearances if you are charged with a felony but enter a diversion program. Glenn Swiatek has the knowledge and expertise to process your case so that you do not have to return to Florida to make court appearances.

Seals and Expungements

Seal or Destroy Your Florida Arrest or Criminal History

All arrests and criminal actions stay on your record unless you take action to have that record sealed or expunged. This is true even if no charges are brought against you, the charges were dismissed, or you were found “not guilty” at trial.

In some cases, you may petition the court to seal or expunge the record of an arrest or criminal action. You will not be able to obtain a seal or expungement if you were convicted or pled out and were adjudicated guilty. Glenn Swiatek knows the intricacies of Florida’s seal and expungement laws. He is skilled in filing the motions and affidavits to get the arrest, citation or criminal history erased from your record. He will consult with you at no charge to determine whether your situation falls within Florida’s laws allowing for your criminal record to be sealed or expunged. If you appear to qualify, Mr. Swiatek will offer a money-back guarantee should your seal or expungement be turned down.

A criminal record is embarrassing and can have serious consequences for your employment and personal life. Fortunately, the State of Florida gives its citizens several ways to petition the courts to seal or even destroy an arrest record and your entire criminal case. Glenn Swiatek has the knowledge and expertise to process the paperwork, file the court petitions and obtain a record seal or expungement on your behalf.

If you were arrested but not convicted of a crime, you may petition the court to seal or destroy your arrest record and criminal case. This will allow you to truthfully tell potential employers, licensing boards and others (with certain statutory exceptions) that you were never arrested.

This area of law is very technical. Your reputation is one of the most important things a person has. If you have been unlucky enough to have been arrested for criminal conduct you should contact Glenn Swiatek to find out what legal vehicles may be available to you to help clean up your prior criminal history.

Our clients often call us to tell us they cannot find housing or employment or they have been terminated from their current job because of prior criminal history. Doesn't it make sense to invest the time and money to see what you can do to wipe the slate clean?
