Certain criminal convictions may be expunged from your record under New Jersey law. In other words, if your New jersey drunk driving attorney is able to successfully expunge the criminal convictions, it will not show up on your criminal record. This is important because a prior criminal conviction may affect your employment opportunities and may be an absolute bar to certain job opportunities. A prior arrest or conviction may also affect professional licensing boards and college applications.
Expungement is limited to criminal offenses. Since a drunk driving charge or conviction is not considered a crime in the State of New Jersey, a conviction for a DWI/DUI can never be expunged from your driving record.
However, in certain cases, our experienced NJ drunk driving attorneys may be able to remove a DUI conviction from your driving record by attempting to reopen the conviction through a process called Post Conviction Relief. We will evaluate your personal driving history to determine whether it is possible to clear your record of the DUI conviction or at least to minimize the effects of a prior DWI/DUI conviction.
