How much will it cost to remove a class b misdemeanor off my record?

More details to this question:
I was arrested for driving while my license was invalid with a prior conviction. It's classified as a Class B misdemeanor. I have never been in trouble before and don't want this on my record. I've had a prior conviction for DWLI (unbeknownst to me; surcharges I was unaware of), how much would it cost for me to get a lawyer to keep it off my record?

Not quite sure what you are asking. If are saying it is a pending case, then clear your license so you can get it back. Many times prosecutors will dismiss if that is done. If you are already convicted, you cannot get it off your record. If you received deferred and successfully completed it, then you can move to seal it. If the case is dismissed, you can file a lawsuit in civil district court to expunge your record.

No lawyer can guarantee to keep it off your record. Any that does is simply lying to you in order to get you as a client. You will qualify for deferred adjudication if you have a clean record and then if you successfully complete deferred it can be sealed with a Petition for Non-Disclosure. Every lawyer and price are different. Just remember that you get what you pay for, so hire the best lawyer you can afford and fight this.
