DUI / DWI Law Answers

If your son was convicted for a violation of the terms of his probation, the conviction will end up as a permanent record for him and most likely it will show up on all background checks for employment in every state in this country.

If he does not have a conviction yet for violating his probation, he should retain a criminal defense attorney to assist him. Good luck to you and him.
