Protect Your Commercial Driver’s License
As a trucker, your commercial driver’s license is your career. If you lose your license, you lose your job. As you know, just one traffic ticket can have huge implications.
Our law firm handles all traffic-related criminal matters, including routine traffic tickets, DWI charges and offenses that qualify as serious offenses. As you likely know, two serious offenses in a year can result in a revoked commercial driver’s license.
In addition to the possible loss of your commercial driver’s license, trucking violations can cost thousands of dollars. These fines can be crippling to truckers and trucking companies. Many times, the alleged violations are very technical in nature and you may not have even meant to do anything wrong.
We are not here to judge. We are here to help. If retained to handle your case, we will do everything in our power to protect your license, limit your fines and put you in the best position possible.
The Effects Of A Criminal Charge On Your CDL
At James Kleinbaum Attorney At Law P.C., we understand the gravity of facing a criminal charge on your commercial driver’s license (CDL). Such charges can lead to your license suspension or even complete revocation. As truck drivers, your license is not just a piece of plastic; it’s your livelihood. Losing it doesn’t just mean a temporary setback. It could mean losing your ability to provide for yourselves and your families.
Navigating the legal process can be daunting and requires prompt and informed action. Failing to address these charges effectively can result in losing your current job. It can severely limit your future employment opportunities. The trucking industry values reliability and a clean record. A criminal charge can tarnish your reputation, closing doors to well-paying jobs.
The implications extend beyond just employment. Consider the broader impacts, such as maintaining your insurance coverage or medical bills. If your health benefits are through your employer. If you require prescription drugs or ongoing medical support, losing your job means losing much more than just income. It means risking your health and well-being. As experienced lawyers for truck drivers, we understand the legal proceedings. We will fight to protect your professional life. Our aim is to minimize the impact of the violation and preserve your ability to work.
