What are the steps or are there any for getting DUI's of Failure to comply off your record. IT has been over five years and I not longer live in that state but it is affecting job oppurtunities and I would like to move past this.

Re: DUI records and expungement
Mr. Beaulier's right. Might as well forget getting a DWI expunged.
Just yesterday I received a call from a gentleman who had received a DWI. Most of the call consisted of him trying to talk himself out of hiring a lawyer, at which he apparently succeeded. I tried to explain that he should be sure it was handled well, because it would be on his record the rest of his life or at least a very long time. He didn't seem to get it.
I would be interested to know. Did you handle this yourself without a lawyer?
Re: DUI records and expungement
The Courts will not generally expunge a DWI record. That is particularly true since a DWI may enhance a subsequent charge for ten years.
Even if you were to get a Judicial expungement, that can only expunge judicial records. Your driving record is a record of the executive branch and an administrative agency. It would still exist.
