Can an "Adjudication Withheld" for Felony Fraud and Felony Unauthorized use of a Driver's License be expunged?

Asked over 2 years ago - Fort Walton Beach, FL

Both charges were "Adjudication Withheld" in a 2000 Florida court and are from the same incident that were sealed in 2002. I would really like to have them expunged before I get out of the military and haven't been able to get a straight answer yet. Also, would I need to make a court appearance for this? Any help is appreciated.

You must wait 10 years and not pick up any new charges in the interim before you are eligible to get a charge sealed. As far as court appearance, usually you do have to appear but it depends on the circuit and the judge.
