A DUI conviction can hurt your career in a number of ways

On Behalf of Turner Law | Apr 11, 2022 | DUI Defense |

A lot can go wrong when you operate a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. You may cause an accident that can result in life-altering injuries not to mention damage to property. And if you are caught and convicted of DUI, you may face a range of legal consequences.

However, these are not the only consequences of driving under influence. A DUI conviction can also be detrimental to your career prospects. Here are some of the ways a DUI conviction can ruin your career.

Missed opportunity to get an education

A DUI conviction can ruin your career way before it even starts. With a DUI conviction on your record, you may have a difficult time getting admission to some schools. Even if you get an admission, a DUI conviction can hurt your chances of getting the financial aid you need to pay for your education.

Missing work

Once you have been formally charged with DUI, you will be required to attend court during your trial. Besides lost income, absence from work may also prompt your employer to relieve or suspend you from your role. And if you are convicted and sentenced to prison time, then you will almost be certain to lose your job.

DUI conviction and professional licensing

Most professions require members to hold licenses in order to practice. Such professions include teachers, pilots and those in the health care sector to mention just a few. One of the preconditions for holding these licenses is that you must notify your employer immediately if you are convicted of a crime. And depending on the nature and severity of your DUI offense, a conviction can result in either the suspension or revocation of your professional license.

There is no doubt that a DUI arrest and conviction can impact your life in a number of ways. Find out how you can safeguard your rights if you are facing DUI charges in California.
