CDL DWI Lawyers in St. Louis
Holders of a commercial driver’s license in Missouri are held to much higher standards when it comes to driving while intoxicated, and for good reason. Most St. Louis drivers do not want to get behind the wheel and worry that drivers of large trucks or vans are a danger to themselves and others on the road.
Protect your driving privileges and future. Contact one of our DWI lawyers today at (314) 900-HELP.
If you are the holder of a CDL, and you are caught driving while intoxicated even in your own personal car, you could be facing the potential loss of your CDL – and thus your livelihood – for a long period of time, even if it is your first offense.
Combs Waterkotte is an experienced St. Louis criminal defense law firm who specializes in DWI cases. We have a proven track record of fighting zealously for our clients, while giving them the personal attention and communication their clients deserve. Our firm invites you to take a look at some of our previous results. You'll find that those results compare favorably to any major firm in St. Louis, and those firms cannot promise that when you work with them you will always speak with an attorney about your case, never a paralegal or assistant.
Driving a large truck, bus, or other commercial vehicle is not an easy task, and Missouri wants drivers to be adequately trained and aware of the responsibilities that come with being able to pilot one of these vehicles. Prospective commercial drivers have to take one or more special knowledge tests as well as several driving skills tests, depending on the class of license they are applying to drive.
Missouri imposes stringent penalties for driving while intoxicated only, but especially for CDL holders, reflecting a nationwide trend driven by advocacy groups like MADD. Even for a first-time CDL DWI in St. Louis, MO, the potential for serious consequences and fines – as well as real jail time – upon conviction is a stark, unfortunate reality.
We recognize the complexities of CDL DWI cases, offering dedicated legal representation to safeguard your rights and future throughout the St. Louis area and across Missouri. Our commitment extends to exploring every legal avenue to eliminate or significantly mitigate DWI consequences to your CDL.
