(ii) A first degree felony. Filing an appropriate two-step or one-step 402 may qualify you for an expungement so long as the offense is still not a violent felony.
(iii) Violent felony. A violent felony is: Most felony assault, felony child abuse, disarming a police officer, stalking, felony domestic violence crimes, nearly all registerable sex offenses, and all felony homicides.
(IV) FELONY DUI. A FELONY CONVICTION DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION 41-6A-501(2);
(v) Registrable Sex Offenses. an offense, or a combination of offenses, that would require the individual to register as a sex offender. Felony DUI expungement Lawyer in Utah
