You may wonder whether a lawyer can expunge a DUI charge from your record if you have a conviction. To help you understand your rights, the DUI lawyers at Lane, Felix & Raisbeck Co. L.P.A. in Cincinnati, OH, explain the expungement process and how it relates to DUI cases.

Under Ohio law, expungement is the process of sealing a criminal record. When the criminal record is expunged, the paper and electronic forms of the recorded charges will only exist in a separate location that most people cannot access. The law does allow access to judges, prosecutors and police; certain employers such as law enforcement and those that work with children or the elderly; and state licensing agencies such as the State Dental Board or Medical Board.
