Louisiana Commercial Drivers License DWI Lawyers

Being charged and possibly convicted of DWI is a life-altering event. However, if your job involves driving and you are charged with a commercial DWI, you face the prospect of job loss. You can also have difficulty or an inability to secure future transportation-related employment. We have successfully handled many commercial DWI cases at the Law Offices of Troy G. Broussard, J.D., in Metairie, Louisiana.

More at Stake

If you have been arrested for driving impaired while holding a commercial drivers license, you have more at stake than just a misdemeanor on your arrest record or paying a hefty fine. The arrest alone could lead to immediate dismissal by your employer. The penalties are higher and so are the standards for DWI. You face loss of your license if you register .04 or higher on a breathalyzer. If you refuse the test, you could face lifetime loss of your license.

Saving Your Job

License revocation will likely equate to immediate loss of your job. A lawyer at the Law Offices of Troy G. Broussard, J.D. can argue for an economic hardship license or an analog device installed on the vehicle. We cannot control the final decision of your employer based on an arrest or conviction. However, we can do everything within the law to achieve license reinstatement that will keep you legally driving and gainfully employed. It is our hope that your employer will not equate drunk driving charges with a conviction.

As the only exclusively DWI practice in Louisiana, we have successfully litigated many cases related to commercial DWI. We recognize that the stress is even greater because of your present and future employment situation. Our attorneys will gather all evidence, including any available videotape and documents. We will thoroughly investigate the initial stop and the procedures involved with the field sobriety and any chemical testing. We will attempt to negotiate with the prosecuting attorney, but will not be hesitant in taking the matter to trial. Your livelihood is at stake.
