Unmasking the Hidden Penalties of a DUI

Loss of license, community service, probation – you've heard them all when it comes to a DUI conviction. But, did you know there are other “hidden penalties” that can equally destroy your life? Learn about these unknown consequences to a DUI charge and why you can't afford to hire an unskilled defense attorney.

Specific Georgia DUI Hidden Penalties

You have a job that you enjoy and have been working there diligently for the past ten years. With a DUI conviction, you may have to say goodbye to that great job – or any job for that matter.

In the state of Georgia, if you have a pending DUI/DWI and it is reported to employers you will be either terminated or suspended from any company activities involving driving. Make sure to check your employee handbook to see what it says.

After you've lost your job and are looking for another, you can have trouble obtaining one. Many employers will simply not hire you if they find out you have had a DUI conviction – and some employers look as far back as 10 years! They can find this information out easily just by running a background check. Others look back as far as your state's driver's history will report a record.

If you enjoy traveling to the Bahamas or another foreign country (including Canada) for a vacation once a year, a DUI conviction can stop you dead in your tracks. Some countries can forbid you to enter because they believe that any conviction is an “offense”.

So if you need to work to pay your bills and if you want to leave the country again, you must hire the right defense attorney if you've been charged with a DUI.
