What Is Dui Expungement?
A conviction for a DUI can be expunged, or eliminated from your criminal recordÂfor most purposes, five years after you have either been released from custody or completed your term or probation or postrelease supervisionÂwhichever came last. The expungement does not occur automatically, but will only happen if you file a motion with the court, and demonstrate that it is in the best interest of justice to expunge your conviction. Once your arrest and conviction is expunged, you need not reveal the fact that you were arrested or convicted except under very specific situations that are provided by law. The expunged conviction, however, will still be included in your criminal history if you are ever again convicted of a crime. This FAQ provided courtesy of Hulnick Law Offices.
