The cost varies and usually depends on two things: The attorney’s experience and expertise; and the difficulty and seriousness of the case.
A DUI is a wobbler. This means a person can be indicted with a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the facts of the case, and whether or not the person has any prior DUI convictions.
A misdemeanor is punishable by up to twelve months in a local jail. A felony is punishable by sixteen months to Life in state prison. Some felonies are punishable by death.
Both felonies and misdemeanors stay on your record forever unless you remove it from your record through expungement.
An experienced criminal lawyer should be able to file and serve the expungement petition quickly, usually within one week. The court usually takes two to four months to approve it.
Recalling a warrant is terminating the warrant and removing it from law enforcement’s database.
