Reno CDL DUI Attorney

The Threat of Losing a Commercial Driver’s License

The loss of a commercial driver’s license due to a DUIcan be devastating for the license holder. A driver who depends on a CDL license may experience lost employment and financial hardship if unable to earn a living that depends on the use of the license. The Nevada laws are strict concerning drunk drivers operating a vehicle with a commercial license, as the blood alcohol level measurement requirement for a DUI is less than that of a regular driver’s license.

Law enforcement might pull over a driver suspected of drunk driving and officers can administer field sobriety tests and breathalyzer or blood tests to determine whether a driver is too impaired to operate a vehicle in a safe manner. The tests conducted in the open in uncontrolled conditions, usually at night, are often unreliable. A defense attorney can challenge all evidence presented by a prosecutor including test results, arrest procedures and other evidence pertaining to the DUI case.

A conviction in a commercial driver’s license DUI can result in jail time, large fines, license suspension, community service, court ordered DUI classes, and other penalties. Walter B. Fey represents many clients with serious criminal charges of a CDL DUI during each step from the time of arrest, during DMV hearings regarding license suspension, arraignment, and court hearings.
