Q: My son had a DUI conviction in August 2006. He completed Alcohol program and is sober. We can this be expunged
Do we have to hire a lawyer to get this expunged? I read that VA never expunges DUI records. This seems unfair since my son has been sober ever since completing the CAB program in 2006. This is preventing him from being hired.
A: Virginia does not expunge DUI convictions. There is really no way to remove such a conviction from one's record.
A: Just to clarify, Virginia does expunge DUI records if it was committed by a juvenile, but not until the person has turned 29.
