Financial Consequences after a DUI

Redwood City, California DUI Defense Lawyers

Drunk Driving? We Can Help You Avoid the Financial Consequences

One of the reasons we aggressively defend individuals charged with driving under the influence (DUI) in San Mateo County is the ongoing financial consequences of a conviction. In most cases, the serious fines imposed by the court are the least of the costs. A drunk driving conviction can result in skyrocketing insurance costs, job loss, and limitation of your employability. If you have been charged with DUI, call the Law Office of Michael L. Davidson in San Mateo at (866) 719-9678 or (650) 288-0483.

Increased Insurance Rates--A conviction for driving under the influence will have a terrible effect on your car insurance rates. You will be considered a bad risk, and many insurance companies will simply drop you as a customer. If your insurer keeps you as a customer, you will see a staggering increase in your premiums. If they drop you, you will pay exorbitant rates to the next company that insures you. We will do all we can to help you beat the DUI charge and keep your insurance rates from skyrocketing.

Possible Job Loss--If you hold a commercial driver's license or are required to drive as part of your employment, the suspension of your driving privileges has an immediate impact on your employment. What many people don't realize is that a DUI conviction may make you an unacceptable risk for your employer and may ruin your career.

Future Employability--Employers are keenly aware of liability issues. When a potential employer engages in a background check, if you have a DUI conviction, you are likely to be denied any job that requires driving in the normal course of your employment.
