Please, if possible, send in any support docs/sites, testimonials or forum replies with similar cases and outcomes….

Any conviction, including misdemeanors, can keep one from gaining citizenship.
Consult a lawyer, but you may find it will be a losing battle if persued.

The offense is a minor one and cannot be an issue for applying for US citizenship.

if its just a misdeameanor then you should be fine(get a good lawyer though).
No this is a major factor.

Anyone is barred from applying for US citizenship if he or she
has committed and been convicted of one or more “crimes involving moral turpitude.” See this reference:
If the naturalization applicant has commited a CIMT, a lawyer won’t help. However, DUI is NOTsuch a crime. Here is the official reference: Go to the bottom of page 2 to see a list of the kinds of crimes involving moral turpitude:
So the person may apply for naturalization and, barring any other ineligibility, will get US citizenship.
