Is it possible to get one or both of my DUIs expunged?

Maybe someone else will offer detailed information. In general in California misdemeanor convictions can be expunged after completing probation uneventfully, as you have. Go to google and do a search such as"California misdemeanor expungment". A form should be available. You send it to the county of your conviction with proof of service on the District Attorney. This is a simple process.

If the DUI charge is reduced to reckless driving, should the accused include it in a job application as crime conviction?

Hudson Thomas Bair
Answered by attorney Hudson Thomas Bair (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Kapsack & Bair, LLP
If you have been found guilty or plead no contest to a reckless driving, you have been convicted of a crime. Usually these charges are misdemeanors so if the application is only asking for felonies the answer is "no" if they are asking for any crime, it is unlikely a truthful answer would be "no." You should consult the attorney who represented your son regarding the answer to provide.

How should I plead to my first DUI?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Cynthia Henley
I'm not certain what state you are in but in Texas, if you have a DUI (called DWI here) then you would have to have a lawyer represent you. If you are indigent thus could not afford to hire a lawyer, a lawyer would be appointed to represent you. You should call 3 to 5 area lawyers to get information about the situation. Most lawyers will talk to you at least briefly by phone, and many have free consultations. You may find that you are able to hire a lawyer. Moreover, you will likely need to get fees quoted in order to obtain a court appointed lawyer if you qualify. DUI/DWI has long term and far reaching consequences including enhanced punishments (the 3rd one is a felony in Texas), the loss of driving privileges, surcharges on your driver's license, and even high insurance premiums. You should fight the DUI/DWI if it is possible as once you plead guilty, the game changes. Every time you are stopped if you have alcohol on your breath, chances are great that you are going to jail. A lawyer will be able to evaluate your case and tell you if it is worth trying to fight it. Failing the breath test - especially with such a high result - does not necessarily equate to a loss. In fact, if a person looks good on the video and has a high breath test result, I find that juries really question the correctness of the breath test. Good luck to you!
