REASONS TO HIRE THE TICKET FIGHTER

Understanding the CDL Exclusion:

Florida law places commercial drivers in a distinct category when it comes to traffic violations. While non-commercial drivers are typically afforded the opportunity to attend driving school to mitigate penalties, CDL holders are excluded from this option. This exclusion applies regardless of the nature of the offense, ranging from speeding violations to more serious infractions. It also applies whether you were in a commercial vehicle or your personal vehicle.

Challenges Faced by CDL Holders:

The exclusion from driving school can pose significant challenges for commercial drivers, as their livelihood often depends on maintaining a clean driving record. Convictions or excessive points on their driving records can lead to a suspension or revocation of their CDL, resulting in severe professional consequences. CDL holders must carefully approach their traffic violation cases to minimize the potential impact on their careers.

Alternative Strategies for CDL Holders:

Consultation: Seeking legal counsel is crucial for CDL holders facing traffic violations in Florida. Our experienced attorney can assess the specifics of the case, identify potential defenses or mitigating factors, and devise a strategic plan to protect the client’s CDL and driving privileges.

Contesting the Citation:

Challenging the citation itself is really a no brainer because the alternative is paying it and getting points. A skilled attorney can investigate the circumstances surrounding the alleged offense, review police reports, and gather evidence to build a strong defense. This approach aims to prevent a conviction altogether, sparing the CDL holder from the detrimental consequences associated with it.

Negotiating Reduced Charges:

In some instances, negotiation with the State may be possible to obtain reduced charges or penalties. We try to leverage our expertise to engage in plea bargaining, potentially securing a resolution that minimizes the adverse effects on the CDL holder’s driving record and professional standing.

Exploring Dismissal Options:

If procedural errors or other legal deficiencies exist in the case, we can seek dismissal of the charges. An exhaustive examination of the evidence and thorough knowledge of Florida traffic laws are vital in pursuing this avenue successfully.

CDL holders in Florida face distinct challenges when dealing with moving violation traffic cases due to their exclusion from attending driving school. Understanding the implications of this exclusion and seeking professional legal representation are critical steps in effectively navigating such situations. By consulting our experienced attorney, CDL holders can explore alternative strategies, including contesting citations, negotiating reduced charges, or pursuing dismissals, to protect their driving record and safeguard their professional careers.
