The charges were dropped, you were found innocent, they had the wrong guy… but it keeps showing up on your record!
Unfortunately, scenarios such as this have happened and do happen in our society. These mistakes in our justice system can follow job seekers for the rest of their lives.

On July 1st, the new Florida “Constitutional Carry” law will take effect. It was signed by Governor DeSantis on April 3, 2023. This law grants individuals the right to bear arms in accordance with the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. Unfortunately, confusion over the new law abounds, much of it generated intentionally to support opponents’ narratives. What does the new law actually mean, and how does it affect those who wish to invoke their Second Amendment rights?
