What are the penalties for CDL DUI?
DUI is a very heavily penalized offense, and unfortunately, commercial drivers face increased penalties. For instance, to be convicted of a DUI as a commercial driver, you only need to have a blood-alcohol percentage of over .04%, compared to the regular .08%. That is because commercial drivers carry more responsibility. They are in charge of delivering cargo or transporting people, and they have to represent an exemplary image of the company they work for. Commercial drivers can even be penalized if the offense occurred in their own personal vehicle.
Commercial drivers charged with DUI will face:
- 1-year license suspension at a minimum
- Large fees to reinstate license
- Thousands of dollars in fines
- Job loss
- Possible jail sentencing
- Probation

Not only Mike negotiated my charges but was able to drop them to a misdemeanor and a monetary fine. If you're looking for someone that will fight for you, and leave no rock unturned to explore all the possibilities and get you the best possible outcome, then Mike is your guy. Best wishes.- Sam N

"He has helped me and my family with a variety of issues, and with each one my/our confidence in him continued to grow."Michael has been my lawyer (and the family) for many years now. From the very beginning I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, competent and most of all understanding. He has helped me and my family with a variety of issues, and with each one my/our confidence in him continued to grow. I have always been cautious and leery of most lawyers, but with Michael I/we know exactly where I/we stand on an issue and were confident he would adequately and competently represent us..
