If you have a commercial driver's license (CDL) and are charged with drunk driving, even if you weren't working at the time, it could mean the end of your professional driving career. The stakes are extremely high for you. You need to do everything possible to avoid a DUI conviction and save your license.
You need the powerful and aggressive defense that comes from experience. Before you work with just any DUI lawyer, contact the Chicago/Joliet area law office of Wigell & Associates. Take a look at our track record of DUI victories and see if you don't feel confident that we can tackle your DUI case.
Many DUI attorneys aren't trial lawyers. But the strategic thinking of a trial attorney is what you need when you have a difficult case like DUI. You need an aggressive, hard-hitting defense at trial when your commercial driver's license is on the line. At Wigell & Associates, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. We have been successful in getting tickets amended and preventing DUI convictions.
In our over 34 years of criminal defense practice, our DUI defense lawyers have achieved an impressive record of results in court and DMV hearings. We defend drivers in the greater Chicago area, in Cook County, Will County, DuPage County and Kankakee County, Illinois, and in Lake County and Porter County, Indiana.
DUI Punishments for Drivers with Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDLs)
While the potential punishments for a commercial driver convicted of DUI are the same as for a non-commercial driver - fines, drivers license suspension, jail time - the consequences are much more severe. Both the Illinois and Indiana legislatures have written laws that prevent CDL drivers from receiving favorable sentences such as supervision and infraction deferral. It's also harder to work out a suspension.
- Do not refuse the breathalyzer (even if you're driving the family car). To do so will disqualify you from having a commercial driver's license
- Do not plead guilty. If you do, you will probably lose your job.
