Expunged DUI RecordsThe law allows you to clean your criminal conviction DUI records by withdrawing your plea and having the case expunged, under most cases. The law is somewhat complex in certain areas, but Clearing of a record is something that SHOULD be done by anyone with even a minor history of arrest or conviction. Contrary to popular belief, records are not cleared automatically with the passing of time, but require the filing of a Petition in Court. Getting your DUI records expunged can take from two months to almost a year depending upon the Court and the severity of the case. The fees are reasonable, and include research, filing fees, the drafting of the Petition, and any Attorney in Court showings. Law enforcement agencies, the legal system and the department of motor vehicles keep DUI records. These groups are also afforded immediate access to DUI records. In the criminal system, DUI records remain on a person's record for ever. The length of time that DUI records remain on department of motor vehicle records varies depending on the state where you reside. When a person is convicted of a DUI the criminal legal system and the department of motor vehicles report and collect DUI records. Dui records pertaining to an individual's DUI arrest are typically registered in both criminal databases and department of motor vehicle information computers. DUI records can be accessed by several different parties. Having DUI records in one's safe keeping can affect a person's life in many ways for years after the DUI incident. If you are trying to learn the criminal history of an individual, there are a number of available ways to do so.

If you are trying to check to see if somebody is incarcerated, many state departments of corrections now have "inmate lookup" search strings on their websites. (Note that a state department of corrections search will not include people incarcerated in a county jail, nor would they reveal federal convictions.) Some states will list all persons who have been incarcerated with, or placed under the supervision of, the state department of corrections, enabling you to find if that person has committed a crime of sufficient gravity to be placed in prison or on parole. When a person is convicted of a DUI the criminal legal system and the department of motor vehicles report and collect DUI records. The length of time that DUI records remain on department of motor vehicle records varies depending on the state where you reside. Other entities also have the right to access DUI records for years after the DUI incident. Insurance companies can access DUI records.

This can make obtaining employment or other endeavors very difficult for people with DUI records. Contact us to get your DUI records expunged. CLICK HERE For A Qualified Expungement Lawyer
