Does a DUI Show Up on a Background Check?

A person filling out a form that says "Criminal Background Check", representing how one can benefit from calling a Portland criminal defense lawyer.

If you’re convicted of a DUI, it will absolutely show on your criminal background history. The reason is that in Maine you have no way of expunging your record or sealing those records from public view. It’s a criminal offense, just like if you were convicted of murder. That’s on your record forever. Same with a DUI. This isn’t a special crime. It is a criminal offense, period, and it’s a serious criminal offense. And it’s gonna have potentially lifelong impact on all aspects of your life, and it’s a public record if you’re convicted. Your employer can find that. Your landlord can find that. Your friends and family can find that as well.

Great group of people. Managed to get me a favorable outcome from a very bad situation. I would highly recommend this firm if you have legal troubles. Top notch performance!!

Dave Allen

So thankful I chose this team to represent me. They’re the best, hands down. Nathan Hitchcock proved my innocence not once but TWICE, including a trial by jury. I have a family in law enforcement who told me “Bill Bly and his team are the best. If I would recommend anyone, it would be them.”
