In most of our cases we've dealt with the client was not aware that agreeing to an Admission of Guilt would result in a criminal record or the process was not followed correctly. The process requires that the arresting police officer explains the consequences plus obtains your signature (when you are-not-intoxicated). Usually our clients were pressured into agreeing to avoid spending the weekend in jail or going to court. In other cases a family member signed or it wasn't signed at all. A successful review application can remove your criminal record without the 10 year waiting period.
