Career Consequences after a DUI

A DUI arrest comes with direct and indirect consequences. Those indirect consequences are significant for certain licensed professionals including:

If you have a license to practice your chosen profession, you must strictly comply with specific reporting requirements after an arrest. One wrong move might result in the suspension or revocation of your license.

Regardless of your profession, you should read your employment contract carefully to see if you are required to report the arrest, administrative suspension of your driver’s license, or conviction (even if the court withheld adjudication on a less charge such as reckless driving).

Make sure that you hire an attorney within ten (10) days of the arrest so that you can contest the administrative suspension of your driver’s license at the Bureau of Administrative Review (BAR) at the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV).
