Torrance CDL Ticket Attorneys

Commercial Driver Traffic Defense Lawyers in South Bay

A driver with a commercial driver’s license (CDL) relies upon his or her ability to drive for his or her livelihood. Being on the road so much of the time, a trucker is more prone to receive a traffic ticket. In these cases, it is important for the commercial driver to work with a Torrance traffic attorney who understands how to defend commercial truck drivers who have received a citation or who have been arrested for DUI.

At Gold & Witham, we understand just how important even a simple speeding ticket or red light violation can be to a truck driver. As such, our Torrance traffic attorneys and lawyers use the utmost caution in working with a CDL ticket or commercial DUI case and take the time to provide aggressive, effective defense strategies.

Commercial drivers face increased penalties and a higher point assessment for tickets, infractions and misdemeanor offenses. The points assessed for any traffic violation will worth 1 ½ times the normal amount assessed for another type of driver.  A driver with a Class A or Class B license, for instance, will receive 1.5 points on his or her driving record for a speeding ticket, rather than the 1 point a Class C driver would face.

Commercial Drivers – Tickets and Citations (Traffic School is NOT an Option!)

Traffic school is not an option for a driver with a commercial driver’s license. Attending traffic school will mask a traffic citation on a Class C driver’s license, but will have no effect on a CDL record. If you are a commercial driver who has received any type of traffic citation, from a moving violation to commercial DUI, an attorney at Gold & Witham may be able to help you. At Gold & Witham, our lawyers understand just what is at stake and will fight to help contest your ticket – so you can avoid getting points on your CDL record.
