You will have to file a lawsuit to see if a judge will expunge it. You should retain an attorney who practices criminal and DWI Iaw.

Not yet. You haven't even completed probation yet.

You can never expunge offenses involving driving. This includes OUILs.

You may move for an expungement when you have successfully completed probation. Usually the term of probation for a DUI conviction is 3 to 5 years, unless you have negotiated a shorter term of probation your will also need a motion to terminate probation. The likelihood of a court granting these motions is completely dependent upon the jurisdiction where your case was filed, prosecuted and sentenced. I encourage you to contact a DUI defense attorney in your area to determine how the local courts receive these motions and likelihood of having the motion granted.
