DUI Expungement Lawyer Serving San Diego

Having Your DUI Expunged from Your Record

After being convicted of a DUI, the judge will proceed with sentencing. This will generally involve any number of the DUI penalties that are available to the judge, given the circumstances of your case. In most cases, this will include probation of a set amount of time, for San Diego misdemeanors, usually 3 to 5 years. It will also usually include, driver's license suspension, community service, alcohol counseling, monetary fines, and possibly jail or prison time. After having served out your probation without violation, you can apply to have your DUI expunged from your record, which can help you throughout the rest of your life with job interviews, loan applications, etc. If you are considering having you DUI expunged, or just want more information on the process, contact a San Diego DUI attorney today.

It is important to understand, however, that expunging your DUI does not mean that if you get arrested for a Dui a second time, it will be treated as a first time DUI. The DUI will remain on your record as a prior conviction, but will not be visible to anyone who may be running background checks on you, for example, at a job interview. You will still be facing enhanced multiple DUI penalties if you are arrested for DUI after your first offense has been expunged.
