Can you have past DUI expunged from your driving record?

Answered by attorney Andrea Rogers (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Rogers Law Firm
It is possible to request expungement of a first-time misdemeanor DUI after 10 years have passed since the conviction, if you have had no other misdemeanors or felonies during that 10-year time period.

I recently received a DUI on the 17th of this month, am I required to notify the DMV of it?

They already know about it. You don't have to do anything. However, when arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking the defendant is given documents that include a notice that you have only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of an automatic one year suspension of your license imposed by DMV. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by the court. Contact DMV and do so, timely, then appear at your scheduled DMV appeal hearing and present any supporting evidence and testimony. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does. I can help you fight the criminal charges and get the best outcome possible. When arrested or charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or confession be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? Raise all appropriate defenses with whatever witnesses, evidence and sympathies are available for legal arguments, for evidence suppression or other motions, or for trial. Effective plea-bargaining, using those defenses, could possibly reduce the potential time and other penalties you face. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, program, or other decent outcome through plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.

Will they charge me still if ten minutes later at the hospital I blew a .07?

You can still be charged, but based on the facts you have provided, you have some good defenses available. Many attorneys on LawQA provide a free consultation. You should hire counsel immediately. Did you go to the May 16 hearing?
