Orange County DUI Expungement Lawyer

Are You Eligible for a DUI Expungement?

You will need to meet certain criteria to be eligible to have your offense expunged from your record in Orange County.

The requirements to be eligible for DUI expungement are:

• You should no longer be on probation.
• All fines, fees, and any restitution ordered must be paid.
• You must not have violated any terms of probation.
• You must not have been convicted of another crime within one year of your DUI conviction.

Expungements for misdemeanor convictions can take anywhere from two to six weeks from the date of your application with the court. Felony convictions cannot be expunged, though. You will need to discuss strategies with Attorney Goodman to see if your felony DUI conviction can be reduced to a misdemeanor, which will introduce other criteria and can take several more weeks.

If you are granted a DUI expungement, you are legally allowed to deny you have been convicted of a crime as long as there are no other convictions present on your record. You can still be required to disclose your conviction in some situations, however, such as when completing a questionnaire for a public office. In most other settings, though, you can say ‘no’ when an inquiring party asks if you have any convictions.
