You’ve worked hard to get where you are—years of education, long hours, and a reputation you’re proud of. Now, after one mistake, it feels like it could all be slipping away.
If you’re a professional facing a DUI charge in Mississippi, take a deep breath. Obviously this is serious, but it’s not the end. With the right strategy and representation, we can help you protect your career, your license, and your future.
Your Livelihood Is Worth Protecting
For professionals like doctors, nurses, engineers, and CDL holders, a DUI isn’t “just a ticket.” It can:
Trigger disciplinary action from licensing boards (Mississippi Board of Nursing, the State Board of Medical Licensure, etc.)
Put your job in jeopardy if your employer learns about the arrest
Disqualify you from certain positions that require a clean record
Jeopardize a CDL or other professional certifications
But here’s the key: none of this is inevitable. The outcome of your case depends heavily on how quickly and strategically you respond.
First Steps After a DUI Arrest
Don’t panic—but don’t delay either.
The legal process moves fast. Deadlines for administrative hearings (like saving your driver’s license) can pass in as little as 10 days.Don’t talk about your case.
Seriously, be quiet. No one needs to know your business. Avoid discussing the details with coworkers, employers, or even friends until you’ve spoken with an attorney.Hire a lawyer who understands professionals.
Not all attorneys appreciate the added stakes of a DUI for a licensed professional. You need someone who can craft a defense with your career and reputation in mind—not just the courtroom outcome.
