Harsh Penalties for CDL Drivers Charged with DUI in Maryland

·         A DUI charge is a major disruption in anyone’s life, but if you drive a commercial vehicle for a living, a DUI conviction can prevent you from being able to earn an income.
·         In addition to having your regular driver’s license suspended for a minimum of six months, CDL drivers convicted of DUI face an automatic suspension of their CDL for an entire year.
·         There are NO exceptions to this rule, not even if you receive a probation before judgment or PBJ.
·         If you have a CDL, you need an attorney who is willing to fight to preserve your ability to earn a living.

·         If you've been charged with DUI and you hold a commercial driver's license, call Portner & Shure today for a free consultation, (301) 854-9000, (410) 995-1515.
