In 2003, I plead guilty to a DWI in VA. My sentence was a restricted license for 1 year, a 20 week ASAP class, and a fine of $150. Now almost 10 years later, I want to do some volunteer work. Most of the opportunities ask for a background check, which I am fine to sign a release for however will a DWI exclude me from volunteer work?
I do contract work for a couple government associations so I have to have a background check available to send for any new project work. I have a National Criminal Background Check from Lexis Nexus that I just renewed and it comes back as clear, I also have a People Wise report that shows my DMV records and it shows my DWI.
How should I proceed? I know I am going to disclose it but is there anything else I should do?
Make a note of the strides you've made in your life since then.

Mike had already left to get help...
Although I am not a NC attorney and I am not offering any legal advice in this matter (you need to find and retain an...
Many people who come into our offices after having been charged or arrested for a Driving While Impaired (DWI) offense figure there's a way to "beat" a DWI, and that if only they find a magic key, they'll be sprung loose from the nightmare of a DWI conviction.
It's a nice thought...
