Re: 5 time felon

In order to clean up your driving record after this period of time, it will be necessary to have an attorney prepare and file petitions for post-conviction relief in the courts where you pled guilty. Your attorney will have to order and obtain transcripts of your guilty pleas from the court reporters and review them for any possible flaws in the proceedings. Then petitions will need to be filed in each court. It can be a long process, but it's important to get started as soon as possible. Once you know about post-conviction relief, you can end up waiving your right to it if you delay.
