Chicago Commercial Drivers License DUI Defense Law Firm
Truck drivers and other commercial driver's license (CDL) holders are held to a much higher standard than other drivers. They are also bound by a much more strict set of rules. Violations of CDLs are taken very seriously. Depending on the severity of the offense, the license could be suspended, effectively taking away the driver's livelihood.
If you make your living as a commercial driver, and you are facing charges for a serious traffic violation, it is essential that you seek the advice of an experienced defense lawyer as soon as possible. At the law firm of Molohon, Sandquist & James, LLP, our Palatine CDL violations attorneys represent clients in all types of CDL violation cases, including DUI, speeding and many others.
Fighting for Your Livelihood
Many of the CDL violation cases we handle involve alcohol. As a CDL holder, you can lose your license if you are found to have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of more than .04 while operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). In addition, your CDL can be suspended if you get a DUI, regardless of whether you were driving your personal vehicle or a CMV. A second DUI in a lifetime can result in a lifetime revocation of your right to hold a CDL.
We also represent clients in a variety of other CDL violations, including:
- Leaving the scene of an accident (any vehicle)
- Driving 15 miles an hour or more over the limit
- Motor vehicle violations involving the death of another person (any vehicle)
- Railroad crossing violations
We understand that your livelihood is at stake in these cases, and we work diligently to obtain the best possible result in your case. We will do everything in our power to resolve your case in a way that allows you to keep your CDL and minimizes the impact on your ability to do your job.
