What is the name of your state? Florida
I was wondering if any one knows if a DUI (1st and LAST conviction) can be "erased" from your records by hiring a lawyer or any other means. I wanted to try and find another job but I'm not sure what to say if the application asks about criminal records of any type. I know I have to be honest, but chances are that I wont get hired. I was already working at the job I'm at now when I got my DUI and they never found out about it so I managed to keep my job, thank goodness. I know I made a terrible mistake. One that I will never make again. I learned my lesson the hard way. I did probation and paid all the fees and had my license suspended, etc. etc. etc. But now I would like to move on. I realize the implications of driving drunk, not just the danger to myself but some one else who would have no control over the harm I could cause while driving drunk, an innocent person. You see, I have kids now. I have "grown up" quite a bit. Not that immaturity is an excuse for driving drunk. I consider myself a responsible person who just wants to provide a better life for my kids future. Suggestions? (My DUI was 5 years ago)
