El Centro DUI Expungement Attorney

In California, in addition to immediate DUI penalties, some consequences may continue even after completing probation. If you were convicted of DUI, an experienced El Centro DUI expungement lawyer may help you clear your criminal record.

I am attorney Chris Yturralde, and I have been practicing law since 1991. At the Law Offices of Chris Yturralde, I provide DUI defense in El Centro, Imperial County, San Diego County and the surrounding communities in California. For over 20 years, I have served as a Deputy District Attorney, a Special Assistant United States Attorney and a private criminal and civil attorney in San Diego and Imperial counties.

Understanding DUI Expungement In California

A DUI expungement is a process that allows eligible individuals to withdraw a guilty or no contest plea, enter a not guilty plea and have the court dismiss the conviction. The DUI expungement process begins with filing a Petition for Dismissal with the court that handled your original DUI case.

In California, an expungement is actually a dismissal under Penal Code § 1203.4. After obtaining a DUI dismissal, you may have benefits that include:

  • Better employment opportunities
  • Better housing
  • Enhanced professional licensing opportunities
  • Confidence when applying for loans

I can represent you throughout the process.

Are You Eligible For El Centro DUI Expungement?

You may qualify for DUI expungement under California law if you:

  • Paid all fines
  • Completed probation
  • Have no additional criminal charges
  • Did not serve a prison sentence for the DUI conviction

As your DUI lawyer, I can help determine whether you qualify for relief.

DUI Expungement Process Under California Law

The process generally includes:

  • Gathering case information
  • Determining eligibility
  • Filing the Petition for Dismissal with the court that handled the DUI case.
  • Notifying the prosecutor
  • The court reviews the petition and schedules a hearing
  • The court makes the decision

I am an experienced El Centro DUI expungement attorney who can help you complete all paperwork correctly.

What California DUI Expungement Cannot Do

A DUI dismissal does not erase every consequence, including:

  • DMV records
  • Still counts as a prior offense if arrested for another DUI
  • Licensing boards still access your conviction history
  • Immigration consequences

I can help you pursue the maximum relief available under California law.

Are You Eligible For Expungement Of Wet Reckless Charge Or Misdemeanor DUI?

Yes, you may qualify for dismissal after completing probation and fulfilling all other court requirements. I can review your eligibility when you reach out to me.
