Savannah Commercial DUI Lawyers
The laws and penalties for driving a commercial vehicle and being convicted of DUI are more stringent than those involving non-commercial vehicles. The legal limit of blood alcohol concentration for driving a commercial vehicle in Georgia is 0.04%. When a commercial driver is convicted of DUI, they automatically will lose their commercial driver's license (CDL) for a minimum of 12 months. At Schneider Lerch, LLC, our Savannah commercial DUI lawyers know how important it is to keep your CDL in force, as it is the lifeblood of your personal income and occupation.
The situation becomes even more serious if you have been convicted of two or more of the following offenses in the past:
- DUI while driving a commercial vehicle with a BAC of over 0.04%.
- DUI while driving a non-commercial vehicle with BAC over 0.08%.
- DUI of any drug.
- Refusal to submit to chemical testing.
If you are a CDL holder and you have been convicted of any two of these offenses, you will lose your CDL for life. It is critical that you contact our experienced and qualified Savannah commercial DUI attorneys to help you fight the charges.
