The flashing lights, the test at the roadside, the sinking feeling a DUI can start as a moment but linger like a shadow. Instantly, your commercial driver's license (CDL) is endangered, which can mean suspension or even revocation, depending on your state's laws. This is no mere slap on the wrist; it's a jarring jolt to your professional life.

Your CDL is your ticket to work, and without it, the road ahead can seem daunting. That's where the expertise of our affiliated defense attorneys can make all the difference, advocating for you with the same dedication you've given to your career.

A DUI doesn't just affect you today; it shadows your tomorrow as well. Employers often view a DUI as a red flag, signaling potential risk. It can hinder your job prospects, as many companies enforce strict policies against hiring drivers with DUI convictions. It's a stain that can be hard to wash out.
