When DUI Threatens Your Career, Leader & Leader, P.A. Can Help You Have a Clean Slate

With the economy in the condition that it is, it's an employer's market out there, especially in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Fort Lauderdale, TX (prHWY.com) January 6, 2012 - Ft Lauderdale, FL, January 2, 2012 - With the economy in the condition that it is, it's an employer's market out there, especially in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. As such, employers have the luxury of being increasingly selective in the hiring process, often conducting background checks on employees and new hires, which can result in significant damage to the careers of individuals with DUIs on their records.

DUI arrests and convictions may also negatively affect admission into the military or college, as well as applications for various forms of licensure. A DUI does not simply represent a warning to employers who provide jobs that involve driving; it also sends an overall negative message with regard to the individual who has such a mark on his record.

A Fort Lauderdale DUI is difficult to expunge from a criminal record and impossible to expunge without the expertise of an Fort Lauderdale criminal defense attorney. Leader & Leader, P.A. specializes in DUI cases and can review your case to see if the circumstances permit an avenue for expungement. Certain criteria must be met, of course, but once your record is expunged, your previous record may not be seen by your employer, school officials, potential landlord, or the public in general. Expungement gives you a fresh start.

If your DUI charge has not yet resulted in a conviction, it's critical to hire a DUI lawyer immediately. Downplaying the seriousness of a DUI conviction is a serious mistake. Many companies, especially insurance companies, avoid hiring individuals who have been convicted of a DUI because it represents potential liability to the employer, regardless of how well the employee behaves currently. Job candidates with DUIs on their records are frequently excluded from further consideration.

Individuals accused of a DUI in Fort Lauderdale, Miami or Palm Beach are strongly advised to seek the guidance of DUI Lawyer Michael Leader at Leader & Leader, P.A. to avoid conviction of a DUI. DUI laws in Florida are extremely tough, and even when no jail time is imposed, a DUI conviction is a permanent blemish on an offender's record. Unless expunged from one's record, DUI convictions may lead to serious hardship in the workplace or may result in being barred from other opportunities down the road, up to and including finding a decent place to live.
