Hello! Thank you for this great forum as many of us are financially unable to just call a lawyer and receive help. This particular case actually involves a potential job and would be very necessary for income.
My roommate was charged with public intoxication after he mistakenly tried to enter the wrong household while drunk. He obviously had no harmful intentions. He was charged and convicted (I don't believe he even fought it). Almost 1 year later he received a DUI and his probation was re-instated due to the DUI being within 1 year. These were about 5-6 years ago. Now, he has nothing further on his record and was seeking a really great job. They did a background check and saw the offenses. They have given him the chance to have the public-intoxication removed from his record and then he'll gain employment. He interviewed with various ppl and they all really wanted him on the team, so they were bummed to find this. This job could be life changing for him and I am trying to do all I can to help.
Is it going to be possible to get these removed (not the DUI, but the public intoxication and probation) from his record and how would he go about doing so?
Thank you,
Daniel
