Jaime Pressly 'worries for post-DUI image'

Jaime Pressly has expressed concerns over how her career will fare following her recent DUI arrest.

The My Name Is Earl star was arrested in January after failing a sobriety test issued by police in Santa Monica. She later pleaded 'not guilty' to the charges.

However, the actress's lawyer Rich Hutton told People that she feels "upset" by the idea that the public may now feel negatively about her because of the incident.

"She's concerned about how the arrest will affect her image because she feels this situation is unjustified," he told People.

"It doesn't represent who she is. She's a wonderful woman. She's doing great. She takes this [DUI case] very seriously. She's upset, but overall - aside from this - she's doing very well."

Pressly's next hearing in the case is scheduled for May 3.
