Answer: No, a DUI expungement has benefits to it, particularly when applying for jobs, but it does not remove the “prior-ability” of the DUI even after it is expunged. So if you get a DUI within 10 years of a previous DUI (even if expunged), it will likely be charged as a 2nd offense DUI with few exceptions.
I still recommend getting the expungement for DUI. Best to get it as soon as possible so you are not crunching for time when you actually need the expungement to go through.
I did not get the expungement yet but would like to move forward as soon as possible. If I were to hire you, could you get started on it right away?
