Contra Costa County Expungement Lawyer

Is Your DUI Conviction Preventing You From Getting a Job or Housing? We Can Help

A DUI can be used as a prior offense for ten years in California. It will remain on your criminal record indefinitely unless you expunge & seal your record.

Your criminal record can affect your ability to:

  • Apply for Housing
  • Seek employment
  • Retain benefits
  • And cause other difficulties both in the workplace and your home life

If you are able to receive an expungement, housing and employment opportunities will likely open up for you. For this reason, we work diligently to seek expungements for our clients. We want you to have that second chance. We want you to have a clear criminal record to move past this mistake and into a more positive future.

How Do You Expunge a DUI in California?

In California, a DUI (driving under the influence) conviction can generally be expunged or removed from a person's criminal record under certain circumstances. To expunge a DUI in Contra Costa, California, you must file a petition for dismissal with the court that issued the original DUI conviction. Our DUI expungement lawyer at The Blalock Law Firm, PC, can assist.

If your petition for dismissal is granted, the Contra Costa court will issue an order expunging your DUI conviction from your criminal record. This means that, for most purposes, the conviction will be treated as if it never happened. However, it is important to note that some agencies, such as law enforcement and certain licensing agencies, may still have access to your expunged conviction.

Eligibility Criteria for DUI Expungement in California

You may file a petition if it has been at least two years since completing your sentence if you:

  • Have completed your probation (usually 3-5 years)
  • Paid your fines
  • Attended your DUI school
  • Served any jail sentence
  • And have maintained a clean record since

Additionally, you may review if the court grants early termination of probation, whichever is earliest.

What Are the Benefits of Expungement?

Our Contra Costa County expungement attorney can determine how soon you can get your record expunged and get a fresh start in life. Additionally, we may also help you expedite the process by “packaging” several motions into one single proceeding where we can attempt to obtain a grant for early termination, reduce a felony to a misdemeanor, and then expunge your record.

The following are some of the benefits of getting your DUI expunged in California:

  • If you are being interviewed for a job, you can honestly say that you’ve never been convicted
  • You will have an easier time getting a California professional license
  • You will have an easier time obtaining housing
  • Your conviction cannot be used against your credibility as a witness in court
  • You may be able to avoid deportation

Those eligible for expungement may be able to clear their criminal record of their previous DUI convictions. The process is intended to give individuals a second chance, especially if they have already served their sentence or had to face negative consequences as a result of the crime.
