9. Will I Have A Criminal Record?
One can never know at the beginning of any case what the end result will be. An infraction dismissed after successful completion of certain tasks will not result in any record of conviction but may still carry DMV history unless that matter is also resolved without suspension. By contrast, a zero-tolerance conviction will typically remain on a criminal record forever (unless it is a juvenile conviction, although even juvenile DUI's remain on a DMV record). Consult with a Mendocino County DUI lawyer about your specific case.
