DUIs and Professional Licensing

Most licensing boards are tasked with overseeing their respective industries to maintain public trust and uphold professional standards. For this reason, any criminal conviction—including a DUI charge—is often treated as a serious matter. Licensing boards view a DUI as more than just a traffic violation. It’s seen as evidence of impaired judgment, which could disrupt your ability to perform your job safely and effectively.
