Felony convictions remain on your record for life. In light of this, a
felony arrest is a serious matter that requires the immediate assistance of
an experienced criminal defense lawyer. Every decision you make and every
word you speak without involving your attorney can negatively impact the
rest of your life.
While the state of Florida allows previously convicted felons to apply for
the restoration of some of their civil rights, this will not remove the
felony from your record. Your felony record will continue to impact you for
the rest of your life when seeking employment or housing, even if your
civil rights are restored.
