Should you have any queries, or would like to book an appointment, you can easily reach us at (512) 671-7277.

When it comes to a DUI, many job applicants wonder how much they need to share. Oftentimes, a job application will specifically ask about an applicant's criminal history, which can include a DUI conviction. Here, honesty is often the best policy because:

  • Many employers conduct background checks.
  • Being upfront can foster trust with potential employers.
  • Dishonesty could result in termination if discovered later.

Our goal at Carlson Law Firm PC is to help clients maneuver these disclosures strategically, ensuring your best foot is always forward.

Preparation is key when it comes to background checks. Understanding what might be revealed during this process allows us to prep you accordingly. Background checks might uncover:

  • Details of the DUI conviction, including date and severity.
  • Any recurring patterns of behavior that might be a cause for concern.
  • Discrepancies between what's disclosed and the actual record.

Our expertise in these matters enables us to prepare and support our clients for any outcome during their job application process.

Every individual has rights regarding employment and criminal history. It's essential to know:

  • What employers can legally ask about your criminal record.
  • Your right to privacy versus an employer's right to know.
  • How rehabilitation and relapse prevention efforts are perceived.

Rest assured that we, at Carlson Law Firm PC, are well-versed in these rights and ensure our clients' disclosures are lawful and fair.

When it comes to applying for jobs with a DUI on your record, strategy is everything. We'll help you manage how to disclose your DUI- effectively turning a potential setback into a story of personal growth and responsibility. It's not about masking the past; it's about showing how you've moved beyond it.

We help you articulate your experiences in a way that emphasizes your strengths and your commitment to personal development. This doesn't just satisfy the employer's need for full disclosure but also demonstrates your proactive approach to overcoming challenges.

Employers appreciate candidates who display maturity and openness. By coaching you on constructive ways to disclose this information, we ensure that your application stands out for all the right reasons. Dial (512) 671-7277 to learn more about our strategy sessions.

Turning a negative into a positive is an art, and our consultants are masters of this craft. We focus on:

  • Presenting your DUI as a learning experience.
  • Highlighting the steps you've taken to improve and prevent future mistakes.
  • Ensuring that your disclosure does not overshadow your skills and qualifications.

Being transparent about a DUI while maintaining a positive light on your candidacy is a delicate balance that our team helps you achieve.

Timing matters when it comes to disclosing sensitive information. We help you determine:

  • The most appropriate phase in the application process to disclose.
  • How to integrate your past into your professional narrative without it defining you.
  • Ways to prepare responses to potential questions from employers about your DUI.

Guiding you through the timing of your disclosure is a vital part of our service, ensuring that it's handled with care.

Understanding the legal aspects of what to disclose can be confusing, but our team has the expertise to guide you. Considerations include:

  • The specifics of what an employer can legally request.
