Many drivers have a DWI charge in their past that continues to plague them.  Even though you may have been placed on probation and not actually been convicted, the records are still available to courts, law enforcement agencies and other branches of the Federal and State governments.  A past conviction, even a Suspended Imposition of Sentence, can hurt you when you apply for certain employment.  Moreover, it can cause you have enhanced charges and penalties if you are ever charged with another alcohol related traffic offense.

Missouri Law provides that after a period of not less than ten years, an individual who has pleaded guilty or been convicted of a First intoxication-related traffic offense, (misdemeanor DWI)', that was not in a commercail vehicle, and has not had a subsequent alcohol-related traffic offense or alcohol-related enforcement action may obtain an order expeunging all official records of his or her arrest.

If you qualify, an expungment action can virutally place you in the legal position as though the charge never occurred.   The only limitation is that the State may maintain records as necessary to ensure that an individual receives only one expungment pursuant to this provision.  Section 610.130 RSMo.

If you've had a DWI and it's been more than 10 years siince the date of the plea of conviction, with no further offenses, there is no good reason not to have all records expunged.
