Commercial DUI/OVI

Ohio Commercial DUI/OVI Defense Lawyer

If you have a commercial driver's license (CDL), chances are you drive for a living and rely upon the ability to get behind the wheel of a vehicle to pay your bills. In 2004, Ohio changed a law that had a serious impact on CDL licensed drivers. Now, if you are arrested for a DUI/OVI in a regular vehicle, you will face sanctions for your commercial drivers' license--up to a one-year disqualification of your CDL. For a second drunk driving offense, the penalty is a lifetime disqualification of your CDL.

If you have a CDL and have been arrested for DUI/OVI, the Law Office of Hector G. Martinez, Jr. Co., LPA, can help you keep your job. Contact our office by phone at 216-875-5555 or toll-free at 877-684-6446 to speak with our attorney.
