Expungements for a Los Angeles DUI

While Los Angeles DUI convictions are serious and often affect a persons entire life, there are post conviction relief options that may help to ease some of the burden.  Foremost, the State of California offers expungements for successful completion of all sentencing under a crime.  While not all crimes can be expunged, most Los Angeles misdemeanor DUI offenses are eligible.  Technically what happens is the court allows you to remove your plea of guilty or no contest and enter a plea of not guilty.  

If yourLos Angeles DUI case resulted in a guilty verdict from a jury trial then the verdict is struck down and replaced with not guilty.  This means that when you are asked for a job or school whether you have been convicted of a crime you do not legally have to disclose the expunged conviction.  There are certain exceptions such as any job that requires licensing by the State of California.

Expungements can take 4 to 6 weeks.  Furthermore, felony charges can be reduced to misdemeanors but it is dependent on the type of felony and the circumstances of the case.  Most likely a felony expungement will be more expensive than a misdemeanor.   While clearing your record is a very rewarding event, it is not an easy process.  A qualified Los Angeles Defense Attorney can walk you through the process to make sure that your request for expungement is not denied.
