What is an Administrative Expunction?

          Sometimes a person will be arrested, yet the case never actually goes to court either because the police do not file the case with the State Attorney’s Office or because the State Attorney’s Office decides not to prosecute the case. When that happens, there is a procedure whereby an individual can request that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement administratively expunge the arrest record.  That procedure is discussed in my article entitled "How to Get Your Criminal Record Administratively Expunged."

If I have a sealed case and the US immigration have access to it and stops me each time I come to USA, would uit be better if I get my records expunged?

Attorney Chapman's response:

It would be best if you posed that question to an immigration lawyer. I practice only criminal defense and therefore do not know the answer to your question.
