How Can a DWI Conviction Affect Your CDL?

Because commercial trucks are huge, heavy, dangerous vehicles, neither government agencies nor insurance companies want people to be driving them under the influence of alcohol. For that reason, New York DWI lawyer charges can have major consequences for commercial drivers.

If you have a commercial driver's license, you may face a longer license revocation period if you are convicted of DWI, and you will not be able to get a hardship license.

If your CDL is revoked, you may lose your commercial trucking job, and if you are an owner-operator, the investment you have made in your truck may go to waste.

We understand how serious DWI charges are for people who rely on their CDLs to feed their families. If you have been charged with drunk driving, you need an experienced attorney on your side.

What Happens After You Get Your License Back?

Even if you successfully reapply for a commercial driver's license, having a DWI or DWAI on your DMV driving record may make it harder for you to get a job as a commercial driver, because any company that hires you may have to pay much higher insurance rates.

If you are a commercial driver and have been charged with drunk driving, don't hesitate to contact our firm to talk to a knowledgeable New York commercial driver's license DWI lawyer.
