Education and rehabilitation programs can often be a part of the legal repercussions for a DUI offense. These programs aim to reduce the likelihood of repeated offenses and to promote safer driving habits. We'll help you understand how these programs work and the benefits they can offer in not only satisfying legal requirements but also enhancing your own well-being.

Participation in these programs is often viewed favorably by the courts and can play a role in the final sentencing. Therefore, it's critical to approach them with the right mindset, one that Fulbright & Jaworski LLP can help foster.
