Each company has policies relating to employee conduct both inside and outside the workplace. A DUI or DWI can infringe upon these policies and may trigger consequences, ranging from suspension to termination. We aid clients in deciphering these policies and developing an appropriate response to safeguard their job.

Our knowledge extends to the nuances of different industries and the expectations that come with them. We help you understand where you stand and how to move forward with credibility and transparency.

Legal outcomes following a DUI/DWI can vary, but they always affect your employment in some capacity.

This includes looking at possible court outcomes and how they might be presented to an employer.

Moreover, we offer advocacy services to negotiate with employers, whenever possible, to find a middle ground that benefits both parties. Empathy and persistence are key in these discussions, and we embody both.

Discretion is often advised when dealing with personal legal matters at work; however, a DUI/DWI may require a different approach. Communicating with your employer is delicate but sometimes necessary. We coach clients on how to address the issue with professionalism and integrity.

We'll work with you to craft a narrative that is honest yet reassuring-ensuring your employer knows you are taking the situation seriously and proactively working to mitigate any risks to your role or the company.

Your professional reputation can be one of your greatest assets-yet it is fragile. A DUI/DWI has the potential to cast a long shadow over your achievements. Our expertise extends to managing and repairing your reputation, guiding you through the process of rebuilding trust in your professional circle.

From recommendations to branding, we know what it takes to come back from a hit to your credibility, and we're ready to guide you every step of the way.

Sometimes, despite best efforts, a DUI/DWI can lead to job loss. This is not the end of the road. With proactive career planning, including upskilling and networking, new opportunities can arise. We help clients look forward and prepare for the next chapter in their professional lives.

This planning includes evaluating career goals, refining resumes, and strategizing for the job hunt. When one door closes, our role is to help you find and open another, equipped with confidence and a clear strategy.

The key to preserving your job following a DUI/DWI charge lies in being proactive. Immediate and informed action can make a significant difference in the outcome. At Akins Nowlin & Prewitt, we emphasize early intervention and thorough understanding of rights and responsibilities. It's not just about reacting to the situation; it's about shaping the future trajectory of your employment.

Before making any decisions or statements, it's crucial to know your rights. Employment laws vary by state, but there are federal protections that may apply. Our role is to inform you of these and help ensure they are respected throughout the process.

We are well-versed in employment legislation, which allows us to provide clients with crucial insights that could make all the difference in the protection of their employment status.

The moments and days following a DUI/DWI charge are pivotal. We outline clear steps to take, from securing legal representation to documenting everything that happens. Our approach is methodical, aiming to leave no stone unturned.

Action may include arranging for a temporary replacement at work, if necessary, to maintain your responsibilities in your absence. This shows employers your commitment to your role even in difficult circumstances.

Nobody should have to face the aftermath of a DUI/DWI alone. We advocate for building a solid support network, including legal, professional, and personal support systems. Connections can lead to advice, referrals, and potential job opportunities.

We can also become an integral part of your support network. Our expertise and understanding can provide a stabilizing force during an uncertain time.

Often, there are alternative solutions to job loss that can be overlooked. It might be possible to arrange for a leave of absence, engage in an employee assistance program, or negotiate other terms that could allow you to retain your job while managing the DUI/DWI's consequences.

We help clients explore all possible scenarios and prepare contingencies, understanding that flexibility can sometimes lead to maintaining employment.

One cannot overstate the importance of thorough documentation in these scenarios. From the details of the charge to the communications with your employer-everything should be recorded. This can protect you from potential misunderstandings or disputes.

We guide clients through the meticulous process of gathering and organizing necessary documents, ensuring they are prepared for any discussions or legal proceedings that may arise.

While the shock of a DUI/DWI can make you feel isolated and vulnerable, it can also be a catalyst for building greater professional resilience.

A proactive approach to your professional development can bolster your value as an employee. We advise on identifying and pursuing additional certifications or training that can enhance your skill set. In a competitive job market, these credentials can be a clear differentiator.

Enrolling in professional development courses or attending workshops not only improves your skills but also demonstrates to employers your commitment to continuous improvement.

Networking is a powerful tool in any professional's arsenal, especially when navigating job security post-DUI/DWI. We help clients identify networking opportunities within their industry and beyond, ensuring they have a robust web of contacts that can offer support or lead to new opportunities.

This includes attending industry events, joining professional associations, and connecting with peers online. A strong network not only provides emotional support but can also bolster your professional standing.

In today's digital age, personal branding is no mere buzzword-it's a key component of your professional identity. We guide clients in curating their online presence to reflect their expertise, values, and dedication to their career.

This might include updating your LinkedIn profile, engaging with your community on professional forums, or even starting a blog to share industry insights. Personal branding can help reshape the narrative around your professional life after a DUI/DWI.

While the immediate aftermath of a DUI/DWI is critical, long-term planning is equally important. We assist our clients in setting long-term career goals and developing plans to achieve them, taking into account the current circumstances and how they might evolve.

Thinking ahead ensures that you're not just reacting to the present but actively shaping your future, and we're here to help chart that course.

Finally, we emphasize the importance of prioritizing your wellbeing during this tumultuous time. Stress can have significant effects on decision-making and performance. Ensuring you're taking care of your mental and emotional health is paramount.

Should the need arise, embarking on a job search post-DUI/DWI requires strategy and finesse. We're skilled in positioning clients so that their strengths are front and center, and the charge does not define their professional capabilities.

This means carefully tailored resumes, shrewd application processes, and coached interviewing techniques that showcase your potential to prospective employers.

In the event that a job change is inevitable, negotiation skills become critical. We prepare clients to discuss their DUI/DWI in a manner that is upfront but does not overshadow their qualifications and fit for a new role.

Negotiation also extends to salaries, roles, and contracts. With our expertise, you can enter these negotiations with employers from a position of strength and clarity.

Each client's situation is unique, thus warranting a personal action plan tailored to their specific needs and goals. We work closely with our clients to build these plans, ensuring they're actionable, reasonable, and geared towards measurable success.
