If it is your only conviction, an experienced attorney can help you get it expunged. Of course, it will remain on your SOS record even if that is granted. Good luck!

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. If you wish the court to expunge your court records, you will need to file a petition with the court. The clerk's office at the courthouse should have the necessary forms.

You can't, driving offenses are nonexpungable by statute. You will have it on your record forever.

It depends on the outcome of the case and how long it has been since the disposition. If it has been 5 years or more from the disposition and it was a 1st offense (misdemeanor) you should be able to make a written request yourself. If not, then you should speak to an attorney.

It probably can't be done because each DUI conviction carries with it increasingly severe penalties. If you were to expunge your record and then get a subsequent DUI, would it be your first or would it be your second?

Not possible in Michigan. You can only attack the conviction.

Some CA convictions can be 'expunged' from criminal records by proper application and Petition to the convicting court, but ONLY IF there was no felony prison time sentenced whether served or not, and if all terms of sentencing and at least one year of probation are completed, and if there are no new charges pending. If successful, the conviction would be withdrawn and the charges dismissed. Expungement does NOT clear, 'remove', erase or disappear the conviction. It does change the record to show an arrest with 'conviction reversed and charges dismissed by expungement'. The conviction is still a 'prior' or 'strike' for purposes of repeat offenses with the court or DMV, and for vehicle insurance rates. Expungement will help in obtaining employment. When applying for a job in the private sector, in response to any question concerning your prior criminal record, you may legally deny that you were arrested or convicted of the offense. If you're serious about doing this, and you think you qualify under those rules, feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.

In NY there is no expungement as of yet. There is something called a Relief From Civil Disabilities which is usually utilized for felonies but can be of some use on certain misdemeanors as well.

Hire a lawyer to file the petition for you and to do the expungement hearing.

You may apply for petition of dismissal by yourself, or contact an attorney who handles expungement matters for more information about taking care of those matters.
