常见问题
Does expungement remove the record completely?
Not entirely. Law enforcement and certain government agencies can still access expunged records. However, the record will not appear on standard background checks for employment, housing, and education.
Can I expunge a DUI?
In many states, yes, a first-offense DUI can be expunged after the waiting period and completion of all requirements. Second or subsequent DUIs are harder or impossible to expunge.
How much does expungement cost?
Court filing fees range from $0 to $400. Attorney fees are typically $500–$2,500. Some states and legal aid organizations offer free expungement clinics.
