Sealing Arrest Record in Jacksonville

At the Law Office of James Davis, we have helped hundreds of people throughout the Jacksonville area seal or expunge their criminal records.

A criminal record can have an extremely negative affect on your ability to seek employment. Employers can not only perform background checks, but can simply perform a search on the Clerk of Court website to find details about the arrest and prosecution of a criminal case in Jacksonville. There is no reason why a potential employer should discover that you have an arrest record.

Do not let an arrest ruin the rest of your life. We will file all necessary motions to seal your record. If the prosecutor files an objection, we will fight in court to ensure the court seals or expunges your record.
