has anyone done this? i have a few suspensions from the past (all over 4 years old) that are coming back to bite me in the ass. no dwis, just from not going to court on time like an asshole. ive had 3 speeding tickets in my life, almost everything in my record is a non-moving violation

do i need a lawyer? or is there just some paperwork i can fill out and sign?

thanks

pretty sure the magic number is 7 years then they disappear on their own. Until then I doubt it.

You can expunge negative marks from your driving record as long as the negative information is:

Inaccurate  
Beyond the statute of limitations  
Violates law in some other way.

Otherwise you’re eff’d.

I had to hire a lawyer years back to dig into some old convictions and get them dismissed. I was an idiot and plead guilty to the first three speeding tickets I ever got. I just didn’t feel like going to court and knew nothing of points, until my license was on the verge of being suspended. I think it cost me like $500. Expensive lesson to learn when your 16.

It doesn’t sound like the same thing your looking for though. I think you may just have to wait it out unfortunately.
