Even if you’ve been acquitted of a California DUI by a judge or jury, the fact that you have an arrest on your record can get in the way of prospective employment, state licensing, housing and financial applications. Unfortunately, the fact that you were acquitted won’t win you much favor. Any criminal activity can…and most likely will…be used against you in virtually every way possible.
Fortunately, California law provides some relief. If you (1) were acquitted of a California DUI (or any other California crime), (2) had your case dismissed, or (3) the prosecutor never filed charges after your arrest, you are eligible to have your California criminal record sealed and destroyed.
Having your California criminal record sealed and destroyed opens countless doors and leaves your unfortunate mishap in the past. Once your arrest is sealed and destroyed, you are free to treat it as if it never happened. No more shame, rejection, or discrimination…it’s as if you’ve been given a fresh start.
