Appeals
In Florida, as in many other jurisdictions, the appellate process in criminal cases provides a mechanism for reviewing decisions made by trial courts to ensure that they were made correctly and in accordance with the law.
Expungement and Sealing
Expunging a criminal record in Florida involves the legal process of having certain criminal records destroyed or obliterated. When a record is expunged, it is as though the criminal incident never occurred, and the information is removed from public access. Expungement is a more complete form of relief compared to sealing a record. Sealing a criminal record in Florida refers to the legal process by which certain criminal records are made confidential and no longer accessible to the general public. When a record is sealed, it means that the government still maintains it, but it is not readily available for public view. Sealing a record is different from expunging a record, but both processes involve restricting public access to criminal history information.
