    Understanding the Broader Impacts of a DUI/DWAI Conviction

    While the immediate legal repercussions of a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) conviction are significant, the long-term effects on one's employment, personal life, and overall well-being can be equally profound. Novo Legal Group is committed to helping clients understand and mitigate these broader consequences, providing comprehensive legal support and guidance.

    • Professional Licenses: Certain professions may have regulations regarding DUI/DWAI convictions, potentially impacting licensure and career advancement.

    Navigating Workplace Stigma

    • Perception and Reputation: A DUI/DWAI conviction can carry a stigma, affecting relationships with employers and colleagues and potentially leading to workplace discrimination.
