New Jersey DWI Expungement Lawyers
Expungement of DWI in New Jersey
Many clients ask if they can legally change their record to erase a DWI. Legally, there are several ways in which you can change, or expunge, your criminal record in New Jersey. Once your New Jersey criminal expungement has gone through you are no longer required to share that information with employers or others. You usually cannot expunge your DWI record, however, and evidence of your DWI will remain on your driving record permanently.
This does not mean that a DWI is a criminal offense, however. In New Jersey, as in all states, a DUI is a traffic violation rather than a criminal matter. Because it is such a serious traffic violation, however, it remains on your driving record and in most cases cannot be removed. DWI convictions do not mean that you can be discriminated against in many cases. If you believe your past DWI conviction has led to some form of discrimination then you should contact our law offices for a free consultation.
You can also contact our office for a free consultation on any matter relating to your New Jersey DWI. If you have questions regarding expungement and how it may work with a DUI charge please feel free to ask us. In some cases you can challenge a ruling that a judge made on a DWI conviction and have it overturned by another judge. This would expunge your driving records of this DWI violation.
Expungement remains a gray area of the law in some DWI cases in New Jersey. There are many ways to avoid conviction or have second trials. There are also many non-lawyers who claim to be able to have your DWI record cleared for some fee or if you buy their book. These claims are typically unfounded and you should generally only rely on advice from your New Jersey DWI lawyer in such important matters.
