oyment and your DUI school.With regard to criminal penalties, typically there is a substantial fine close to $2,000.00, a DUI program, MADD program, 6 month suspension of your license and 3 years of informal probation. However, your suspension will be converted into a restricted status by going to the DMV and reapplying, and without having to undergo another 30 days of suspension. You can apply immediately after the conviction.

Upon completion of your informal probation, you should petition the court for an expungement under Penal Code Section 1203.4, which allows you to withdraw your plea of guilty to a not guilty and dismiss your case.

Once an expungement is granted, you do not have to disclose your conviction. There are only three exceptions: if you are applying for a license with a local or state governmental agencies; if you are running for a public office; or if you’ve won the lottery.

For repeat DUI offenses, it is imperative that you contact us as the penalties increase exponentially, especially with jail time. For many repeat offenses, jail time can be served alternatively by the following:

1. If the court permits, home confinement

2. Private jail facility

3. Work furlough

4. Residential treatment facility
