Expungement

What is DUI expungement and how can it benefit you? In simple terms, an expungement is a process that allows an individual who has been convicted of a crime to have that crime removed from his or her public record. This means that a guilty verdict will be set aside, or in the case of individuals who plead guilty, the plea of not guilty will be entered in the place of the original plea. Expungement carries can be extremely beneficial, especially with regards to a DUI conviction. The higher insurance premiums due to your Sacramento DUI conviction, the difficulty in finding a job due to having to disclose your arrest, and the embarrassment of having a criminal conviction on public record can all be erased by a successfully executed expungement.

There are very specific procedures which must be followed, and only an attorney who is highly experienced in the DUI laws of Sacramento will be able to assist you with this process. Additionally, only a qualified Sacramento DUI lawyer will be able to tell you if your case qualifies for expungement, based upon your unique circumstances.
