The High Stakes of Commercial DUI Charges
The consequences of a DUI charge for a commercial driver extend far beyond fines or imprisonment. The stakes are incredibly high as they can include the loss of licensure and the ability to earn a livelihood. That's why it's crucial to have a vigorous defense catered specifically to commercial drivers.

Navigating Complex Regulations and Laws
The legal framework for commercial driving is dense with regulations that must be thoroughly understood for an effective defense. Our attorneys are well-versed in both state and federal laws and will explore every angle, from questioning the legality of the traffic stop to challenging the accuracy of the breathalyzer or blood tests.
Beyond the initial charges, our attorneys consider the long-term effects on your CDL and employment opportunities. It's not just about handling your current situation but about protecting your future as a commercial driver as well.
Building a Robust Legal Strategy
A commercial DUI case requires a multifaceted approach. Our attorneys will develop a strategy that includes challenging the evidence, evaluating procedural errors, and providing robust representation in court. Each element of the case is scrutinized nothing is overlooked in the bid to create a strong defense.
We, at Carlson Law Firm PC, believe in proactive communication with our clients, ensuring that you're informed and involved at every step. By collaborating closely, we can assemble a defense that truly reflects the specifics of your case and your individual needs as a commercial driver.

At the heart of our service is the promise to stand as your stout defender in the face of challenge, upholding the principle that you are innocent until proven guilty. Our dynamic legal defense aims, not only to handle the present DUI charge but to safeguard your future career path as well.
Specialized Defense Strategies Tailored for Commercial Drivers
Challenging the Validity of the Traffic Stop
One of the primary defenses in any DUI case is assessing the reason behind the traffic stop. If a law enforcement officer did not have probable cause for the stop, it could render any evidence collected during the stop inadmissible. Our attorneys are adept at examining the details that led to the stop and identifying any discrepancies that could be crucial for your defense.
With precise attention to detail, we'll ensure that your rights were respected from the moment the police lights flashed. If we discover any violations of these rights, it becomes a substantial part of your defense strategy.
Questioning Test Administration and Equipment
Blood alcohol content (BAC) tests are central to DUI charges, but they are not infallible. Our lawyers have the expertise to analyse and bring into question the administration and accuracy of BAC tests. Whether it's a breathalyzer or blood test, our team will seek out any inconsistencies or errors that could influence your case.
From the calibration of the equipment to the qualifications of the personnel administering the test, nothing escapes our thorough scrutiny. We are unwavering in our quest to ensure that if a test was flawed, it won't be used against you unfairly.
Exploring Alternative Resolutions
While preparing a robust defense, we also explore alternative resolutions that could be in your best interest. Depending on the specifics of your case, this could mean arguing for reduced charges, advocating for a plea deal, or discussing the possibility of diversion programs.
Our attorneys assess all options with a keen eye, determining which course of action offers the most favorable outcome for you, both in the short term and for the longevity of your career. With us, every possibility is considered and pursued with your best interests at heart.
Safeguarding Commercial Licensing and Employment
A critical aspect of our defense services is the protection of your commercial driver's license. Losing your CDL isn't just about being unable to drive; it's about losing your livelihood. A central focus of our defense is to navigate the legal system in ways that seek to preserve your licensing and employment opportunities.
Our approach is both aggressive in court and conscientious in future-planning, so that you have the best chance to continue in your profession even after DUI charges. We recognize the importance of achieving a resolution that allows for continued employment and we tirelessly advocate on your behalf.
Evidentiary Challenges and Procedural Defenses - The Keys to a Solid Case
Disputing Breathalyzer and Blood Test Results
Breathalyzer and blood tests are not beyond reproach, and questioning their results is often a turning point in a DUI defense. Our lawyers are attuned to the nuances that can affect such tests, including machine calibration, environmental factors, and the time lapse between the alleged incident and the test.
We don't simply accept the results at face value; we delve into the science and the procedure, ensuring that any test results presented against you are beyond reproach. If we find deviations from standard protocols or questionable results, we bring these issues to the forefront of your defense.
Examining Officer Conduct and Testimony
The conduct of the arresting officer is another fundamental aspect of your defense. We scrutinize the officer's actions and testimony for consistency and adherence to legal standards. Any deviation or misstep can significantly affect the validity of the DUI charge.
Your defense is fortified by our diligent appraisal of the arresting officer's conduct. If there are discrepancies, omissions, or outright errors in the officer's account, we highlight these issues to bolster your defense.
Utilizing Expert Witnesses
In the context of a DUI defense, expert witnesses can provide pivotal testimony that challenges the prosecution's claims. Our lawyers engage with specialists in fields such as toxicology, pharmacology, and law enforcement procedures to present evidence that supports your case.
The utilization of expert testimony is part of our comprehensive approach to your defense it's about assembling all the pieces to form the most persuasive argument for your innocence.
Procedural Defenses and Legal Precedents
Every successful defense is grounded in a strong understanding of legal procedures and precedents. Our attorneys meticulously review case law and statutory procedures, searching for precedents that resonate with your case and procedural lapses that can be leveraged in your favor.
