Well there is a process involved in getting a record expunged. I wil try my best to explain as I am currently trying to get my record expunged as well without the assistance of an attorney.
I know this is a lengthy process that can take anywhere from 6 - 9 months, but I think it will be worth your while. This way you don't have to worry about background checks from prospective employers, rental agencies, student and bank loans, etc. By law, you can deny having a criminal record.
Hope this helps and anyone can feel free to correct me if I missed anything.
Getting a DWI expunged from one's record can be a difficult process but it is possible with some exceptions. One must first live in a state where it is possible to expunge a DWI from their record and determine if they are eligible. One must then fill out an application for the courts to review and pay any fees associated. The decision will then either be made by a judge or through a public hearing.
George W. Bush had a DWI conviction.
In theory, any criminal conviction can be expunged. Actually doing it is something else again. Courts are generally reluctant to expunge any record unless there is a clear showing that the original conviction was unjust, or a long period of good conduct has passed with no further criminal actions recorded. The more serious the violation/conviction, the longer one has to show good conduct and the more reluctant a court will be to expunge a conviction. Domestic violence is a serious offense, and courts are very reluctant to expunge these for any reason.
The state can drop any charge against someone if they feel they can not get a conviction. But one convicted, the conviction never drops off your record.
There are several factors which must be considered to determine whether a conviction can be expunged. The date of conviction and the county are important. You should consult an attorney for legal advise and assistance.
The definition of expunge is to strike out, obliterate, or mark for deletion or to efface completely destroy and to eliminate (as a memory) from one's consciousness. That is few definitions one can use the term expunge.
In North Carolina, a DWI (Driving While Impaired) conviction can affect your ability to obtain a CDL (Commercial Driver's License). If you have a DWI on your record, you may face a disqualification period, typically lasting one year for a first offense, which can extend to three years for subsequent offenses. It's essential to check with the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles for specific details and requirements based on your situation. Ultimately, a DWI can complicate the process, but it doesn't completely preclude you from obtaining a CDL after the disqualification period.
DWI Layers in California can be find directly from the DWI website or in towns such as; Alameda, Alpine and Colusa. There are also many more towns that the DWI Layers offers their service.
DWI is a felony under state law, not federal. You would have to apply for relief of disability with your state, which may approve or deny it. Without that, however, you, as a felon, cannot legally own, possess, or be allowed access to firearms, ammunition, or ballistic vests.
A DUI gives you two records; one criminal and one on your driver's license. Your criminal record is permanent, it will stay there forever unless you have a judge remove it from your record (expunge it). It varies from state-to-state how long the record will stay on your driving history.
You may apply to expunge only one offense at a time. Each offense will have to considered and ruled upon by the court as a separate matter.
The best way to argue against a DWI charge is by finding a great defense attorney to represent one's self in court. Attorneys are well-versed in the law and can help make a case against a DWI.
