What Does DUI Expungement Entail?
When a DUI record is expunged, it is as though the conviction never occurred. This means it is removed from public records, giving you the ability to honestly declare that you have not been convicted of a DUI when applying for most jobs or when required to disclose criminal convictions. It's important to note that expungement does not erase the conviction from all systems; certain government agencies and law enforcement may still have access to this information.
Our team at Hyde Law PLLC can offer detailed explanations of what a DUI expungement may mean in your specific situation and what benefits it could offer. While the process and criteria can vary from state to state, our national scope of service means that we can guide you irrespective of your location.
Eligibility Requirements for DUI Expungement
Eligibility for DUI expungement depends on numerous factors, including the severity of the offense, the state laws governing expungement, and your criminal history. Generally, first-time offenders with no prior criminal record have a higher chance of getting their DUI expunged. If you've complied with all court orders and probation requirements, your chances are further improved.
However, multiple DUIs or additional criminal convictions can hinder your eligibility. Our knowledgeable legal team can help determine your eligibility with a straightforward evaluation of your circumstances.
