It is possible to petition the court to get your DUI expunged. The judge had discretion on whether our not to grant the petition. There is a filing fee which can vary depending on which court you are in, generally ranging from $60 to $120 in southern California. Attorney fees for handling expungements for clients can vary. I charge $800 and have been very successful in getting DUI expungements granted.

The Michigan expungement statute provides that drunk driving offenses are not eligible for expungement.

I have never heard of any WA court allowing a DUI to be expunged.

No In Michigan and everywhere that I know of. Driving offenses (including DUI) are never expungeable.

In California, DUIs remain on your DMV record for 10 years and cannot be expunged from your DMV record. The DUI convictions may be expunged from the court records, at the discretion of a judge, but can still be used as enhancements for future DUI filings and convictions. With regards to price, there is no universal price guidelines. Every attorney usually charges differently. I suggest that you contact a number of attorneys in your area to see what the going rate is.

It is very doubtful you can get a DUI removed from you record.

There is no expungement statute in New York state. Your state may allow expungement under certain circumstances, but you will have to talk to a lawyer in that state and give him the facts to see if you qualify.
