Can I obtain a dui record expungement in Florida and clear my history?

Two years ago, I was arrested for driving under the influence and was adjudicated guilty.  I was recently charged with grand theft of an automobile.  Can I obtain a dui record expungement in Florida?

Answers

To expunge or seal a criminal history record, a defendant must not, prior to the date when he or she files an application for a certificate of eligibility, have been found guilty of a criminal offense or similar ordinance violation or have been adjudicated delinquent for committing a misdemeanor or felony specified in section 943.051(3)(b).  Under Florida law, a criminal history record that pertains to a DUI violation may not be expunged, if the defendant pled guilty or no contest to or was found guilty of the offense.  The court may only expunge a criminal history record relating to one incident of alleged criminal activity or arrest.  It may expunge a criminal history record pertaining to more than one arrest if the other arrests directly relate to the first arrest.
