DUI ExpungeUnfortunately a conviction for DUI automatically results in an adjudication of guilt. This means that it will become a permanent feature of your driving record and will likely affect your automobile insurance. However, in some cases the Prosecutor maybe persuaded to reduce the charge of DUI to a less serious offense. In that event it may be possible to avoid an adjudication of guilt and the application of points against your driving record. A Misdemeanor charge is generally considered to be less serious than a felony, however, convictions for crimes involving theft, DUI, or sexual behavior can have long lasting ramifications that may effect both your record and employment. Misdemeanor cases are handled in the County Court System and punishment may include an adjudication of guilt, a fine, incarceration in the County Jail and supervised probation. A felony charge is considered more serious than a Misdemeanor and is ranked in increasing range of severity from Third to First Degree. Felony crimes are handled in Circuit Criminal Court and punishment can include an adjudication of guilt, significant terms of supervised probation or house arrest, lengthy terms of incarceration in State Prison and significant fines. It may be possible to seal or expunge your prior criminal record. However, there are some fundamental rules which govern the approval process. If you have ever been adjudicated guilty of any criminal offense, regardless of time or jurisdiction, you are not permitted to seal or expunge any record. In addition, there are certain prohibitions and distinctions between sealing and expungement which may limit or entirely prohibit these remedies. The law concerning sealing and expungement is contained in your state's Statutes. The law can be somewhat confusing and consultation with expungement lawyers is recommended to determine your rights.
