Dui Expungement in Colorado | Select Insurance Group

To get the best deal on car insurance after a DUI or other driving-related offense, you should work with an independent car insurance agent. One who isn’t captive to any one company, but who can take your application and shop it around to many different carriers – all of which are competing for your business.You should understand there’s a difference between getting your case sealed and getting it expunged. When a case is sealed, it means it’s no longer discoverable to the general public. So it won’t show up in an employer or landlord’s background check. But it’s still viewable by law enforcement and the courts.

Furthermore, if you run afoul of the law again, the court may decide to unseal your previous records. So they will again be discoverable to potential future employers, landlords, and creditors.

In an expungement, the state destroys your record entirely. That means not even law enforcement will have a record of it. And, of course, your record would not be discoverable via a public records or criminal background check.

However, if your arrest made the papers, or other social media accounts, it could come up in Google searches of your name in the future.

So expunged is better than sealed! But in Colorado, DUI and DWAI convictions are never eligible for either. And if you’re arrested as an adult but never convicted, neither charge can be expunged in Colorado until at least ten years after the arrest. And then only if you have had no criminal charges since the arrest.

Your best bet is to avoid getting arrested for DUI or DWAI in Colorado in the first place.
