DUI Expungement

What Is DUI Expungement?

Understanding the Process for Connecticut DUI Record Expungement

A DUI expungement is a legal process that allows individuals with a DUI conviction to have it removed from their criminal record, essentially giving them a clean slate. In the state of Connecticut, this process involves several steps including filling out the necessary paperwork, gathering supporting documents, and attending a hearing. At Pardon Me, LLC, we specialize in guiding individuals through this complex process, leveraging our personal experience to provide understanding and supportive guidance.

In Connecticut, eligibility for DUI expungement is generally based on a variety of factors, including the severity of the offense, the individual's criminal history, and the amount of time that has passed since the conviction. Usually, individuals who have completed their sentence, including any probation or community service, and have maintained a clean record for a specified period thereafter, are eligible to apply for expungement. A person seeking an absolute pardon must wait three years before applying for pardon for a misdemeanor DUI conviction. If it is a felony conviction, the person must wait five years instead.

Yes, there are circumstances where a DUI cannot be expunged. If the individual has a significant criminal history or if the DUI offense was associated with aggravating factors such as bodily harm to others, severe property damage, or a high level of alcohol or drugs in the system, it might be challenging to get the DUI expunged. Moreover, if there are pending criminal cases or if the individual hasn't fulfilled all the legal obligations related to the DUI, expungement may not be possible. It is essential to consider the nuances of your particular case.
