Are there special concerns if I have an air pilots license?

Absolutely. Both in terms of reporting requirements to the FAA, as well as consequences to the license itself, depending on the outcome of your case. If you have a pilot’s license, contact one of our Washington DUI lawyers as soon as possible to make sure you are not putting it in jeopardy.

Is it true that a DUI conviction will prohibit me from entering Canada?

This is true. A DUI is considered an admissible offense by the Canadian government. As such, anyone convicted of a DUI or in some cases even a lesser offense, may be denied entry. The individual's inadmissible status will remain until he or she has been "rehabilitated". Find out more in our Traveling to Canada section.

I have a DUI conviction and am being told it may limit my ability to move to another state. Is this true?

Possibly. Anyone who has a second or subsequent conviction for a DUI falls under the guidelines of the Interstate Compact.  If you fall into this category you will be required to get the written permission of the probation department in the state to which you are moving.
