DUI and Your Record
We are commonly asked how long a DUI will stay on an individual’s record. A DUI is a priorable for 10 years, which means that if you are convicted of another DUI within 10 years, it will punished as DUI with a prior conviction.
However, even if a DUI in Los Angeles County is priorable for only 10 years, it could stay on your record for life unless you see expungement. If you have a DUI on your record, you may seek expungement after one year or once your DUI court probation has expired. If the judge grants your DUI expungement, you will withdraw your “guilty” or “no contest,” pleas and the court will re-enters a “not guilty” plea and the case will be dismissed.
