To learn how you can benefit from our experience with commercial driver’s license (CDL) defense throughout the state, contact Courtney & Molter for a free consultation. We advise local and out-of-state drivers about the best ways to deal with CDL violations in Wisconsin, whether they involve technical citations, so-called “serious disqualifying offenses,” or criminal charges.

No matter what charge you’re facing, we work to minimize the damage that a traffic offense can represent for a commercial driver’s license and livelihood. Our experience in the municipal courts throughout the state can give you a good idea of your options to compromise the charge or otherwise reduce your exposure to punishment.

Your opportunities for negotiating a break on a CDL ticket vary quite a lot by the specific charge and the policies of particular prosecutor’s offices. Because we defend CDL operators all over the state, our insight into local practices can help streamline a path toward the most effective strategy.

In many cases, the main goal will be to keep a serious disqualifying offense off your record. Two such violations within a 3-year period results in suspension of the CDL. Examples of serious disqualifying offenses include:

  • Failure to report any accident, even a minor one
  • Speeding more than 15 mph over the limit
  • Railroad crossing violations
  • Tailgating
  • Unsafe lane deviations

Drunk driving charges are especially serious for commercial drivers. Conviction of DUI on a first offense will result in a one-year suspension of the commercial license, even if the arrest took place while you were driving your own car. Keep in mind as well that a blood alcohol level as low as .04 percent can sustain a DUI conviction against a CDL holder. Our experience with the resolution of drunk driving charges across a range of situations can expand your options for achieving a satisfactory result.

We also advise commercial drivers and owners about regulatory problems involving equipment, inspections, oversize loads, hazardous materials and weight violations.
