More details to this question:
My husband had lost many opportunites of job becauseof that misdemeanors. He was repentant at the very moment. We would like to know if at least the petit theft and domestic violence (with his first wife) can be expunged (He wasn't guilty, bc she knocked herself for blaming him). Well, maybe he can still get a job but he is always afraid of being rejected due to the misdemeanors. Thank you for you soon reply.

Unfortunately DUI convictions cannot be sealed or expunged. That is becasue the person convicted receives an Adjudication of guilt. Unlike many other charges where a person can receive a withhold of Adjudication, the statute in Florida does not allow it.
Also, anytime you have been Adjudicated on any offense, you are ineligible to expunge anything else, so the other charges cannot be sealed either.
