It is vital to remember that any administrative license suspension action is a separate, civil component to the criminal prosecution you are facing. A DUI conviction can mean much more in terms of punishment and loss of future opportunities than any administrative license suspension. A DUI criminal conviction will create a multitude of additional penalties that overshadow any short-term loss of driving privileges from an ALS suspension. A DUI conviction can NEVER be EXPUNGED in Georgia, absent proof that the conviction was incorrectly entered on your record (e.g., another person used your license and was arrested and later convicted under your identity). Therefore, asking about expungement (sic) [expunction is the proper word, since “expungement” is not a word] is not an effective strategy AFTER you have pleaded guilty or been found guilty of DUI. Focus on winning the DUI or getting the criminal DUI case reduced, not on trying to undo a conviction from your prior GUILTY plea, which (like concrete) gets more and more hardened as time goes forward. By getting the criminal case reduced or dismissed, any ALS action — even for repeat administrative license suspensions or a revocation – gets cleared immediately.
