Commercial Drivers License Suspension

Seattle, Washington, Commercial License Defense Lawyer

If you hold a commercial driver's license (CDL) and have been charged with a DUI, your license suspension could cost you your career. In the state of Washington, a person holding a CDL can suffer a license suspension with a breath or blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of just .04%. That is only half the level required for a DUI for regular adult drivers. Furthermore, whether you were driving on the job, or in your private car, it doesn't matter. You could face a suspended license for driving after just a couple of beers after work.

I am DUI defense attorney Peter J. Peaquin, in Seattle, Washington. For more than 17 years, my law firm has been helping commercial drivers fight for their careers and livelihood after being charged with a DUI. If you have been charged, you will need an attorney who understands how state AND federal laws apply to license suspension. The state can suspend your CDL based only on the results of a breath test. I know how inaccurate field sobriety tests and breath and blood tests are and I know the strategies that can help you fight for your rights.

I invite you to learn more about DUI defense through my DUI Practice Center

There are typically several legal issues we will have to fight through. Provisions of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act (FMCSA) will have some bearing on whether you can keep your CDL, and how soon you can drive again. In addition, we will be aggressively defending you against misdemeanor DUI charges, as well as defending your private driver's license from suspension by the Department of Licensing. Don't give the police and prosecutors any more of a head start. I have the experience to vigorously defend your rights and help you fight for the best possible outcome for your DUI charges.
