If a DUI conviction was appealed and won, meaning overturned, will it be listed on a criminal conviction search. This happened in 1979

an 'arrest' is an 'arrest' and not a 'conviction'. the 'arrest' will be listed on a 'criminal background check'. the DUI conviction and the successful appeal of the conviction will also be listed. the issue is that these charges are 'motor vehicle violations'. motor vehicle violations cannot be expunged.  ed dimon, esq. 732-797-1600 ext 235

Congratulations. There are many miscarriages of justice perpetrated in the courts of original jurisdiction that go uncorrected because people don't have the resources, time and fortitude to have their cases reviewed by an appellate court. To answer your question, a reversal of your conviction on appeal is tantamount to an adjudication of not guilty by a jury of your peers and no conviction should be on your record. If the State of New Jersey fails to remove the conviction from your record, you should get a Court order expunging the conviction
