The difficulties of Mel Gibson's life have been publicized widely over the years, and his battle with alcoholism is known to many. However, while Mr. Gibson's actions may not be worth emulating, Los Angeles DUI defense attorneys see some great lessons to be learned from Mr. Gibson's impending DUI expungement case.
Mel Gibson was pulled over and charged with a DUI three years ago. As part of his sentence, he was to complete a 3-year probation period which included specific terms. These terms most likely included community service, attending meetings and other mandates from the court. As a result of successfully completing his probation, Mr. Gibson's attorney is requesting a DUI expungement, which essentially wipes the slate clean as far as the courts are concerned. A DUI expungement removes the particular conviction in question from the defendant's record - for good.
A Los Angeles DUI defense attorney can successfully obtain a DUI expungement if the person convicted of a DUI crime successfully fulfills the requirements of his/her probation. In the case of a DUI expungement, you withdraw your "guilty" or "no contest" plea and the court dismisses your case. From that point forward, you can honestly and legally deny your criminal record in most job interviews and background checks.
Clearing your DUI record is a complex process, but a skilled Los Angeles DUI defense attorney can help you achieve just that. A DUI expungement will protect you from being guilty of "multiple DUI" offenses, should you be pulled over in the future, and will keep that portion of your record from being brought up any future legal action.
You may be eligible for a DUI expungement, but only a skilled Los Angeles DUI defense attorney can help you achieve it.
