Our mission is to offer guidance and support, connecting commercial drivers with skilled defense attorneys who are committed to protecting your professional future.

When a commercial driver is charged with a DUI, the fallout can be immediate and severe. Not only does the driver face potential jail time, fines, and a tarnished record, but their commercial driving license (CDL) can be suspended or revoked. This singular event can destabilize an entire career, calling for urgent and informed legal defense. That's where we come in. Our team is on hand to answer your questions or to schedule an appointment at (512) 863-0508. We stand with our clients at every step, ensuring that no stone is left unturned in their defense.

A DUI arrest can bring an immediate suspension of your CDL, posing an urgent threat to your job security as a commercial driver. Our selected attorneys know time is of the essence and act swiftly to address these initial repercussions. Their proactive approach is essential in preventing a bad situation from becoming irrevocable.

Prompt action can also influence the outcome of administrative hearings, which will determine the status of your CDL. We support you in these critical early stages, ensuring you have the representation needed to voice your case effectively.

The repercussions of a DUI can reverberate throughout your entire career. Employers are understandably hesitant to hire drivers with DUI charges on their records, fearing liability and increased insurance premiums. Our network of attorneys will strive to mitigate the impact on your long-term career prospects.

Preserving your reputation and your right to work is paramount. Our legal partners are committed to limiting the damage to your personal and professional standing.

The financial burden of a DUI charge can be crippling, with hefty fines and the potential loss of income during suspension. We help you navigate these challenges, aiming to reduce fines and shorten any periods of suspension where possible. Our experienced lawyers are skilled in arguing for lighter sentences and alternatives to suspension that can alleviate fiscal distress.

A well-crafted defense can mean the difference between financial stability and hardship. By collaborating with our attorneys, you bolster your chances of a more favorable economic outcome following a DUI charge.

Without expert legal representation, the odds can be heavily stacked against a commercial driver facing a DUI charge. Our network includes seasoned defense attorneys who understand the nuances of DUI law as it pertains to the unique conditions of commercial driving.

We focus on connecting you with the legal expertise that recognizes the importance of your CDL for your life and livelihood. Their specialized knowledge can be the key to retaining your commercial driving privileges.

A strong defense is your best arsenal against the implications of a DUI charge. Our legal partners meticulously comb through every detail of your case to construct a robust defense strategy tailored to your situation.

From questioning the validity of the DUI stop to analyzing the accuracy of blood alcohol content (BAC) testing, our attorneys leave no stone unturned in seeking out weaknesses in the prosecution's case.

One vital aspect of your defense is the accuracy and protocols surrounding BAC testing. Our attorneys are experts at identifying procedural errors or issues with testing devices that could lead to the suppression of evidence.

Substantiating such flaws can be pivotal in your case, potentially leading to a dismissal of charges and maintaining the untainted status of your CDL.

In certain situations, plea bargains or alternative sentencing such as diversion programs may be an advisable path. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators, working toward outcomes that serve your best interests while fulfilling legal obligations.

These alternatives can lessen the gravity of a DUI charge on your record, assist in retaining your CDL, and mitigate the long-term effects on your career.

Beyond representation, education plays a crucial role in the services we provide. Our legal partners can offer advice and preventative measures to help you avoid future DUI situations, thereby safeguarding your career.

This proactive approach not only strengthens your defense but also contributes to a safer driving community.

It's crucial to understand that the journey doesn't end with the resolution of your case. Should your CDL be suspended or revoked, reinstating your driving privileges is the next essential step. We assist commercial drivers in navigating the conditions for reinstatement, ensuring you meet all the state and federal guidelines required to get back behind the wheel.

Our concern for your livelihood continues beyond the courtroom. We provide ongoing support to help you comply with the reinstatement protocols, including substance abuse treatment programs or driving courses that may be mandated. We are here to see you through to the reestablishment of your CDL and the resumption of your professional duties.

Reinstating your CDL requires a thorough understanding of the process. We provide clear guidance on the steps involved, from fulfilling court-ordered programs to completing the necessary paperwork. Our partners can help expedite the process with their knowledge of local and federal procedures.

This guidance is invaluable in avoiding unnecessary delays or complications that could prolong your time off the road.

Participation in court-ordered programs is often a precondition for CDL reinstatement. Our network includes professionals who can assist you in finding reputable courses or treatment options that comply with legal requirements.

Completing these programs not only helps reinstate your CDL but also demonstrates your commitment to responsible driving, a quality that can resonate positively with future employers.

Accurate documentation is essential to the reinstatement process. Our attorneys will ensure that you have all the required paperwork in order, helping to avoid any bureaucratic setbacks.
