Will You Lose Your Job After Your Fresno, Madera Tulare, Visalia, Hanford or Porterville DUI Arrest?

Perhaps police pulled you over, after noticing a missing taillight, and arrested you for DUI. Or maybe you got snagged at a checkpoint.   In either case, you face a number of challenges. You're worried about the jail time, fees and fines, and the embarrassment.

But most of all, you're worried about your job.   After all, it's a tough economy. You need to earn a fair wage to pay for your kid's education, to save for retirement, to put food on the table and to pay your rent. If you lose your job, you could face quite an unpleasant financial picture.

A job loss is one of the most unpleasant, unexpected side effects of a DUI arrest/conviction.

Think about it this way. Let's say you committed a misdemeanor DUI. Your fines and fees might total $2,000. That's no small amount of money. But what if your DUI leads to your getting fired? Let's say you earn $1,000 a week. You then get fired and spend four months out of work. If you're out of work 16 weeks, and you miss out on that $1,000 a week income for 16 weeks, that's a loss to your bottom line of about $16,000. That's 8 times the DUI fines! So what can you do?

Your options depend on the DUI charges you face, your past criminal history, if you have any, the nature of your job, the relationship you have with your employer, and so on.
