A DUI will stay on your record forever if you do not have it removed. For the purpose of additional punishment, a DUI stays on your record for 7 years. What I mean by that is if you get a second DUI in a 7 year span, the mandatory punishment increases greatly. It is possible, however, to have a DUI removed from your record. It is similar to an expungement, but it is called a Motion to Set Aside Judgment of Guilt. You can hire an attorney to have this removed from your record and it would be removed for all purposes except if you received another DUI in that 7 year span. Even if it is removed and you are found guilty of another DUI, you will be punished the same as if the conviction was not removed. You will quickly find a number of benefits from having your judgment set aside by an attorney. This includes things such as a lower car insurance payment, the lack of the stigma that comes with a DUI conviction, and you can even tell potential employers that you have never been convicted of any crime once your judgment is set aside.
