Remove DWI's from Record

How could somebody get those removed from the record so that potential employers would not be able to obtain that information?

The person I am referring to, has had several DWI's and one concealed weapon charge in the past. Is there a way to remove all those from the record?

Re: Remove DWI's from Record

Under unusual circumstances there can sometimes be an "expungement" of a person's prior criminal record, but that is rarely done and usually only to prevent a manifest injustice.

As a practical matter there is no way to get several DWI's and a weapons charge removed from any record, that of the police upon arrest or those of the courts who processed the charges.
