Will an offer be withdrawn because of a single DWI / DUI misdemeanor conviction at this firm?

I recently received an offer from Navigant -- doe anyone know if a single DWI/DUI misdemeanor conviction will result in an offer being withdrawn? I a misdemeanor DWI in 2013, out of state. I disclosed it on the background form where it asks if I had any other convictions, arrests, etc. The paperwork was submitted a week ago and I'm aware that my references are being contacted (some are playing phone tag). An HR specialist did follow-up with me earlier this week to ask a few other related attributes about the DWI, like the city, state, and county in which it occurred. Any reassurance would be much appreciated, thanks!

This is will depend. I have a misdemeanor reckless driving charge from when I was 19 and it has never once led to me to being bounced during a background check. However, that was a long time ago and, frankly, I don't think people expect it from me. I usually get puzzled looks if I tell people about it.

2013 wasn't that long ago, but if you're candid and repentant it may have been long enough. Or they just may not give a shit if they really only care about fraud, violent crimes, etc. I know plenty of people that think a DUI is dumb but not as big of a deal.
