My client was charged with a DUI with a high blood alcohol content. She is a nurse and her professional license was at stake. She was placed on probation, but wanted to appeal to the California Board of Registered Nursing to keep her license, which meant she needed to get off of probation and get her charge expunged. I filed a motion to end probation early and expunge the conviction. I attached proof of the following: she had completed all of her probation terms, attended AA meetings, was employed, had a Master’s Degree Diploma, attended counseling, tested clean, did community service and continuing education courses. I also submitted letters attesting to her good character. The judge terminated her probation early and expunged her conviction over the objection of the District Attorney, leaving her free to address her professional license and continue with her nursing career.
