Being
charged with a DUI will change your life. Whether it is a
misdemeanor DUI or a
felony DUI, the conviction will appear on your
criminal record and will reflect badly on your character when you apply for a job, try to rent or buy a place to live, or in just about anything where a background check may be involved. If you speak with a
criminal defense lawyer, you may be able to work to get the conviction expunged from your
criminal record.
