Can I seal my record for a recent charge even though I have a driving while suspended charge from years ago.
Years ago I had a bad driving record. I represented myself and entered a guilty plea to driving while suspended. Years later I was arrested for possession and went through **** and successfully cleaned up. Went through rehab and completed probation w/o incident. Now I am getting turned down for jobs left and right due to the charge. Now I am told I cant seal record due to the driving while suspended charge. Is there any way to seal the record. Is the any recourse left for me? I have made mistakes and learned from them but continue to suffer.

I'm not sure why you're being told that you can't get the possession charge record sealed, unless it's because you had the driving while suspended charge sealed or expunged already. I'm not a Florida attorney, but my research suggests that you're only able to use the sealing/expungement system for one arrest.
For advice you can rely on, you need to get all of the facts of your case to a Florida lawyer who's familiar with this part of the law. One place to find counsel is our website, http://attorneypages.com
