What is my first step?

The first step is to complete the application to apply to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for a certificate of eligibility. This certificate will allow us to petition a court of proper jurisdiction to seal or expunge your Florida criminal history record. But don't worry, if it sounds difficult, it isn't. The law offices of Michael T. Heider, P.A. will handle every step of the process for you. We fill out all the paper work and send you detailed instructions for everything that needs to be done. All you have to do is sign several documents in front of a notary public, and get your finger prints taken at your local Sheriff's office. Once you hire us, we handle the rest!
