DUI Social Stigma
Understanding the Impact of DUI/DWI on Personal Relationships
Being charged with a DUI/DWI can leave a profound impact not only on your legal record but also on your personal life. At Fulbright & Jaworski LLP, we recognize the heavy burden that comes with navigating the murky waters of societal judgment and strained relationships. It's not an easy path and making sense of it requires patience, understanding, and the right support. We're here to offer a guiding hand and a listening ear, to help you mend fences and rebuild bridges which may have been damaged.
Our team knows that the stigma associated with a DUI/DWI can sometimes feel even more punishing than the legal repercussions. Close relationships can be tested, professional opportunities might decrease, and self-esteem can take a serious hit. That's why we don't just provide legal support; we stand with you as you work through the complex emotions and challenges that arise. For questions or to book an appointment, don't hesitate to reach out to us at (213) 892-9200.
