My judge is "TINKLER-MENDEZ, MARISA".. She seemed like a very lovely woman.
Thank you so much for the quick response!

Yes, she is a very lovely woman as well as being a highly respected Judge. I have many matters in her division and am always happy to appear in that Courtroom.

You can call Judge Tinkler-Mendez's Judicial Assistant Carolina at 305-548-5733 and ask her whether or not you must appear. The link to Judge Tinkler-Mendez's Judicial profile is found at the following website.

Congratulations again on your successful completion. Once formalized you should, if you choose, be able to expunge the record. In this regard you should know that this is 2015 and we are forehead deep into the internet age, where nothing is private, sacred or truly hidden from public scrutiny.

Sadly, sealing (and expunging) only applies to certain (not even to all) government agencies and has no effect whatsoever on private (er, extortionist) enterprise, who compile and maintain arrest information and then demand that you pay them off to remove your information from their database and public access. Worse still, after you "buy back your information", then you can count on there being another private company lurking, somewhere, sometime, somehow, just waiting for you to pay them off as well. Its a seemingly never-ending vicious cycle.

Regardless, some folks feel better having their arrest expunged from the public records, and if you do then you should be able to accomplish that objective.
