Pennsylvania CDL DUI
If you hold a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) in Pennsylvania, your license and your ability to drive are your livelihood. So a DUI charge - on the job or off - can seriously impact your career, your finances, and your freedom. The experienced DUI lawyers at The McShane Firm are experts in every aspect of Pennsylvania DUI law. We understand how important keeping your license is to your career and pledge to fight for your case with over three decades of combined knowledge and experience.
Your Job Is On The Line
Pennsylvania CDL DUI penalties are much more severe than penalties for regular drivers. While everyday drivers begin to face impairment charges at a BAC of 0.08%, commercial drivers can be charged - either in a commercial or personal vehicle - starting at only 0.02% BAC. In most cases, commercial drivers with ANY amount of alcohol in their system can be forced by law to leave the road or go "out of service" for 24 hours. That means a single beer while on the road could cost you a deadline or even your job.
Your Money Is On The Line
In Pennsylvania, any DUI conviction can bring CDL license disqualification of anywhere from a year to a lifetime, depending on your driving history. Not to mention the loss of income, high court fines, insurance increases, and mandatory alcohol school fees. When you add up those potential costs, the cost of an expert DUI attorney becomes much more reasonable. The McShane Firm accepts all major credit cards, online payment, and can even set up time payments to fit your needs.
The Stakes Are High
Did you know that a Pennsylvania DUI conviction on your personal license can carry over to your commercial license? That means even if you're off-duty and in your own car, a DUI charge can destroy your career. An expert DUI lawyer from The McShane Firm can help to minimize or eliminate the charges against you, regardless of the source. Our attorneys have extensive DUI training and certification - in some cases higher than most Pennsylvania police officers - and pledge to fight aggressively for your case.
