While the best strategy for maintaining a clear record is to never get a DUI, in the event you have already been convicted of a DUI/DWI, you may have the opportunity to have the DUI conviction expunged, meaning taken off your record. Having a DUI conviction expunged from your record has tremendous benefits, however, not everyone is eligible. In order to be eligible to have your DUI conviction expunged, you must have not previously had a DUI expunged, you must have not previously had a DUI nonajudicated, you must successfully complete all terms and conditions for your sentence from the DUI conviction, your BAC must have tested below .16%, you must not have refused a breathalyzer test, and five (5) years must have passed from the time of your DUI conviction.
