Reader’s Question:

As I was driving home from work, I was caught drunk driving two weeks ago in Graham-Thrift, Washington. I have already weighed all the consequences if I will be convicted for DUI. Aside from jail time and paying fines, what other things should I expect that could happen to me?

We all know that you may lose your driver’s license after your DUI charge in Graham-Thrift, Washington. And you may think that your job would be safe, right? Think twice because it is a distinct possibility with any DUI conviction that you could lose your job.

DUI may have a domino effect, not only that you have to serve time in jail and pay stiff fines, you may also be assigned to do community service which could mean that you have to take time from work, and your boss would not like that. So, you might as well lose your job sooner than you think. And after losing your job, you have to be ready to apply for something new. You now have to worry about the DUI charge showing up on background checks which is a common routine when completing the employer’s application process. So, with the threat of losing your job and having a hard time finding another one, only a qualified DUI attorney will fight for you when no one else will.
