BAKERSFIELD DUI EXPUNGEMENT
The final stage in a Bakersfield DUI is expungement. Expungement includes the sealing of arrest and/or conviction information and should be of interest for someone charged with a DUI. Not all cases can be expunged depending on if the offender was a juvenile or adult, if the conviction was a misdemeanor or felony, if probation was granted, or if a term in state prison was mandated.
Also, felonies cannot always be expunged, but it may be possible to lessen the charge to a misdemeanor. It’s a good idea to have a Bakersfield DUI law firm handle this because it can be quite complicated and they will know what you can expect with your case.
Expungements do not erase your criminal history. However if your previous plea was guilty or no contest, it will be replaced it with a not guilty plea. If your case went to trial and you were found guilty, the expungement will set this verdict aside.
