    Default Clearing A Record For Multiple Offenses In Florida and Alabama

    Without going into details lets just say I was a very troubled individual from childhood until landing in the rooms of AA and getting sober in 1996.

    I have been haunted by my past long enough now and wish to at least try and do something about it.

    I will list in order what I am looking at cleaning up as much as possable.

    Alabama 1986 Theft of property ( felony over $200 )
    I do not know if adjudication is withheld. Prob. not

    Florida 1992 Battery/domestic violence ( MISD. nole process or dismiss )

    Florida 1994 Purchase of Cocaine ( FELONY Adjudication WITHHELD)
    purch. $50.00 crack rock from undercover durring a sting.
    Served 2 years probation

    Florida 1995 Battery/domestic violence ( MISD. nole process or dismiss )

    Florida 1995 ARREST ONLY for above Dom. Viol. nole process.
    Picked up at work in another county to be transfered cnty of orig. 1994 charge that I violated by getting arrested


    Florida 1995 PROB VIOLATION of orig. 1994 charge that I violated by
    getting arrested ( Case dissmissed because dom viol. was dissmissed )

    Alabama does not expunge records.

    Florida will only permit the expungement of one record in one proceeding, and would disqualify you if you had an expungement from another state, which does not appear to be an issue for you as you cannot expunge an Alabama conviction.

    If I understand your record correctly, despite your probation violation you were fortunate enough to have your adjudications withheld (or otherwise to have charges dropped) and thus have no Florida convictions. If that is incorrect and you have a conviction, that is the charge you would want to target for sealing, assuming you otherwise qualify. (Lots of information on Florida expungement can be read here.)

    Thank you for your reply.

    Yes it is correct that in Florida adjudication was withheld on the Purchase charge and were dropped on the others but all 5 arrest show up on my florida record so I was hopeing to be able and wipe out the Purchase and 2VOP arrest since they were all related.

    My goal is to 1: restore ALL of my civil rights and 2: not have such a long rap sheet.

    My thinking is if I at least get a pardon Alabama even though records would not be sealed I could regain ALL of my civil rights or am I just dreaming?


    Question is am I able to even get a pardon Alabama? If so what state should I focus on first? what should I do first?

    1: Would my Florida record keep me from getting a Pardon in Alabama even though records would not be sealed.

    2: Would getting a Pardon in Alabama keep me from being able to expunge in Florida ?

    You can read about Alabama pardons here - note, even after a pardon, "The arrest and conviction will continue to show up when a criminal history is run." If you want to regain all of your civil rights, you would need to apply for an Alabama pardon.

    Thanks but I have read all of that and more and I can not find out if my Florida record would keep me from getting a Pardon in AL having a Felony conviction in FL even though adjudication was withheld.

    I am looking for reasons a person would not be able to get a Pardon in AL.

    If you want a pardon, apply for one. The worst that can happen is that your request will be denied.
