Can I have my felony drug charge removed from my record?

Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
What you are looking for is called expungement. In order to qualify for that, you cannot have been convicted of the crime you were charged with. Assuming you were not convicted, that adjudication was withheld, you may be able to get the records sealed and then expunged. The price ranges from $750 up depending upon the attorney. FDLE charges $75.00 for a certificate of eligibility.

Did they do an illegal search if my son was not home?

Answered by attorney Jason William Savela
Criminal Law lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
Assuming this is a shared apartment (not a dorm), where son has his own room that is not shared with anyone else and he has the right to keep people out of, then consent to search that room by anyone else is not valid. If the police entered the room based on a reason other than consent, such as items in plain view, or a search warrant, then possibly valid.

If I was charged with misdemeanor possession of cannabis in Florida, and I had ajudification withheld, will it show up on a background check?

Yes, a criminal charge will still show up on a background check even if adjudication is withheld. The only way it would not show up is if you go through the process of "record sealing".  All that is meant by the withhold is that the court did not formally adjudicate you guilty, however the record of the arrest and charges will remain a public records unless it is sealed.
