3. I would guess duration of sobriety would be important

But rehab and actively participating in a program like AA has helped plenty of men and women I know land on the positive side of family matters, Job matters, and to your post, legal matters.

If your client is sober the 28 days in rehab, plus a couple more weeks or months, it might not carry the same weights as a year or more of sobriety. But the actions he is taking almost invariably help in my experience with others in similar situations.

Good luck w it.
