2000-OUI charge for .08-hired attorney for jury trial
2001-DMV Standard Administrative license suspension - 90 days
2004-New DA who didn't want to take it to trial.
OUI charge dismissed by DA/AG in exchange for Reckless Conduct
Accurate criminal history: 1 count Reckless Conduct in 2000.
Question: How to get dismissed OUI charge and associated administrative license suspension off record? I've been told that had I been found innocent at a jury trial, my record would still reflect OUI charge and license suspension.
Doesn't dismissed mean "gone"? How can a dismissed charge follow me around and interfere with my ability to be hired?
Finally, if an organization has informed me that, due to the presence of the dismissed charge on my record, I am unsuitable for them----am I correct in believing that EVERYONE with whom they contract must be held to the same standard i.e. no oui charges, dismissed or otherwise, on their records?
Thanks,
