If your DUI charge was reduced to reckless driving, you might feel relieved,but you may also wonder if you can clear your record entirely. Unfortunately, a DUI reduced to reckless driving cannot be expunged in Florida.

However, there’s still hope.

1. You May Be Able to Seal Your Record

While you can’t expunge a DUI that was reduced, you may qualify to have the record sealed, depending on the final charge and your prior criminal history.

Sealing your record means that most employers, landlords, and the general public won’t have access to your case information, giving you a chance to move forward without the weight of a public record.

2. Why Legal Guidance Matters

Understanding the difference between sealing and expungement can be confusing. The eligibility requirements are strict, and one small mistake can delay or prevent approval.

That’s why it’s important to speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney who can review your case and help determine your options under Florida law.

At Izquierdo Law Firm, we’ve helped many Miami-Dade residents navigate this process successfully, and reclaim control of their futures.
