It is very difficult to remove DUI charges from your record once you are convicted of this charge.
It is always best to go to court and fight it if you want the best chance to remove DUI charges.
This conviction will stay with you for a long time and if you don't go to court to fight it, there will be no way to have it removed once it is there.
One instance where a DUI will not be added to your record is if you are not found to be guilty of this crime by a jury of your peers and no judicial action is taken against you.
If you are unable to show beyond a reasonable doubt that you are innocent of these charges and happen to do jail time, are placed on probation, or get fined, you will most assuredly not be able to remove these DUI charges from your record.
If you happen to end up with a DUI conviction on your record, you will carry this around with you for several years and it will cause many changes in your life that you will have to deal with.
You will most likely have jail time, many fines that you will have to pay off, a probationary period, and increased costs of auto insurance.
Having a DUI removed from your record is not impossible but is very hard so you should plan for the worst case scenario and begin saving money for fines and create a new budget for increased auto insurance.
