The Deeper Ramifications of a DUI

duiWere you recently involved in a DUI offense? You may have a lot of questions on your mind as to how to proceed. Should you admit fault? Is there jail time? While these are things you should seek legal assistance with, there are other ways a DUI may affect you that you may not be aware of.

Travel. While a DUI conviction isn’t going to affect your ability to obtain a passport, it may present hurdles depending on where you’re going. Countries like Canada, for instance, may not allow travelers from foreign countries to enter the country, especially if it’s a recent conviction.

Background checks. Are you applying for a job? Your conviction may show up when a potential employer evaluates whether you’re worth hiring. Depending on the severity of the offense, it may prevent you from getting the job if a private employer has policies against hiring those with a criminal record.

Professional licenses. Are you looking to become the next successful real estate agent or a licensed healthcare professional? A recent DUI conviction could potentially prevent you from being able to obtain the license.
