Am I eligible for expungement on dwi charge?
A DUI expungement is the legal process for cleaning up your driving record. If you have a DUI on your record, in some states it may be possible to remove, but the DUI will still be on your record, only accessible to the government and law enforcement.
Without more information about where you live, it is impossible to provide specific information. In most states you will have to complete a petition and submit the paperwork to a criminal court. A judge will review the request and will decide your case. Often there is a hearing, where you can make a case with the help of your DUI lawyer.
Are you eligible to request a DUI expungement?
Again, state laws differ in certain criminal law cases, and that includes driving under the influence charges. The court will consider many factors such as the length of time since the DUI arrest and conviction, whether you have committed additional crimes, and whether your DUI was a misdemeanor or felony charge.
Is the DUI really “erased”?
No, the DUI conviction is not technically erased. Your DUI record is “sealed,” but even sealed government records can be accessible. Your DUI charges will still be accessible for police officers and other law enforcement; it will show up if you’re pulled over for speeding, for example.
