QUESTION
Is my chances of employment basically screwed from now on if I get convicted with reckless driving?
Asked on Aug 07th, 2013 on DUI/DWI - Georgia
More details to this question:
I got charged with a DUI a few months ago but my lawyer says that he might be able to get it plead down to a DUI. I jumped for joy when he told me this but then I started doing some research and found out that its basically just like a DUI but apparently its supposedly better than a DUI but I don't see how to be honest. So am I basically facing a long road of job rejection from now on?

It depends on the type of job you are seeking. You will have to be truthful on any job application.

I think you made a typo in your post; you meant to say your lawyer can plead your DUI down to reckless. Reckless is a 6 point offense but why on earth do you think it makes you unemployable? Even a DUI doesn't so that.

Which is why you might want to hire a DUI specialist who can win your case at trial.

This is still better since it does not give you a drinking conviction. This is not as bad for employment.
