A DUI conviction doesn’t have to haunt you forever. In California there is a way to get an old criminal conviction for driving under the influence removed and cleaned from your permanent record. For over 30 years Attorney Matthew Ruff has been clearing past drunk driving cases cleared for purposes of employment background checks and live-scan reports requested by private employers.
The process is called the “1203.4 petition” and Matthew is successful in getting cases dismissed on a regular basis. Below is an actual order of dismissal in a recent DUI case out of Los Angeles Superior Court ⬇️.
The end result of getting a case dismissed pursuant to 1203.4 is that you can truthfully state you have never been convicted of the case on private job applications and most employment background checks.
The process can be done as quickly as 30 days, however can take as long as 3-4 months so it is advisable to get started early if you are planning a job change. The expungement process can be started as soon as you are done with probation on your case.
