Clearing Your DWI Record

Get Help Expunge Your DWI Record

Criminal background checks are frequently conducted in pre-employment screenings. A felony conviction will prohibit an individual from purchasing a firearm and carries other stigmatizing repercussions including limits placed on the right to travel to certain countries. Not all states let a person formally clear a criminal record (ie: Illinois), but you CAN still keep it from showing up on background checks. In some jobs such as in schools the entire criminal charge/arrest record is revealed to including “sealed records” and “expunged records.”

Basic information about erasing (expunging) a criminal conviction from your record: When records of an arrest or conviction are sealed or expunged (a notation is made in the file that the records are off limits to all except law enforcement personnel), defendants can, for some purposes, treat the arrests or convictions as though they had never happened. The rules about who is eligible for expungement, and the effects of expungement, vary from state to state.

Note: If you have a San Francisco criminal record, the Operation Clean Slate program (from the San Francisco Office of the Public Defender) can help you get your record expunged. In some instances the Public Defender will file the papers with the court for you. In other instances the Public Defender will refer you to an attorney who can help you through the process. Call Operation Clean Slate at (415) 553-9337 for details.
