Helping Servicemembers Facing DUIs Across San Diego

A DUI can be scary enough on its own. However, when you’re in the military, it can pose problems civilians don’t encounter. At the Law Office of Sean M. Hobson, attorney Sean M. Hobson understands the unique challenges you face as a member of the U.S. Military. Sean is a committed and ambitious attorney passionate about providing quality defense counsel to people who have dedicated their lives to serving their country.

What A DUI Could Mean For Your Military Career

Military professionals face distinct challenges and penalties when charged with a DUI. Unlike civilians, you may face consequences in civilian court and the military justice system. These penalties can include:

  • Loss of rank or pay
  • Administrative separation or discharge
  • Loss of security clearance
  • Loss of military pension
  • Loss of VA benefits if your DUI results in a dishonorable discharge

Understanding the severity of a DUI charge as a servicemember can help you develop your defense strategy. Sean is committed to helping you maneuver your case and the risks that can come with your charge with compassion and professionalism.

What Is A Military DUI Diversion Program?

A Military DUI Diversion Program offers an alternative to traditional prosecution for first-time DUI offenders. This program focuses on rehabilitation rather than punishment and can help you avoid severe penalties. Participation typically involves:

  • Completing a substance abuse treatment program
  • Attending DUI education classes
  • Performing community service
  • Abiding by other court-ordered conditions

Successful completion of the program may result in reduced charges or even dismissal of the DUI charge, helping you maintain your military career and personal life. Sean can help you learn more about this program and advocate for you to enroll.
