Whether you are charged with a first offense DUI, a repeat DUI offense, or felony DUI resulting in serious bodily injury, the consequences of a conviction can have a dramatic impact on your future. While you might be aware that the immediate consequences include exposure to jail/prison, enormous fines, loss of your driving privileges (i.e., driver’s license suspension/revocation), mandatory participation in alcohol/drug classes and/or treatment programs and more, the penalties formally imposed by a judge only tell part of the story. The potential long-term consequences of a DUI conviction should give you pause about accepting the quick path to a guilty plea.

While the consequences associated with a DUI conviction can be frightening, the good news is that a DUI conviction can be expunged, (removed). The conviction can be expunged provided you are placed on probation and successfully satisfy the terms and conditions of your probation under PC 1203.4. [Misdemeanors that do not result in probation or infractions also can be expunged under PC 1203.4(a)]. We often submit a petition to the court for expungement of a DUI conviction for clients who we previously represented in a DUI criminal case.
Limits of Expungement – No Sealing of Public Record of DUI
However, the benefit of expungement does have limits because it does not result in your criminal record being sealing with respect to your DUI conviction. Rather, your record will reflect a dismissal. The conviction remains on the public record for anyone who knows where to look (i.e., the court case file). Because your DUI conviction never really “goes away,” the best option is to retain a proven Ontario, CA DUI attorney to provide an aggressive defense prior to a conviction.
