The concerns of someone charged with a DWI, DUI or Refusal in New Jersey, are often even more significant when the charge concerns operation of a commercial vehicle.  Indeed, an individual holding a CDL and charged with a DWI, DUI or Refusal, not only faces the normal issues associated with a conviction but also the fact that a conviction shall result in a loss of their ability to work.  The Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall can address these concerns and provide a thorough and diligent defense to the charges.

Under N.J.S.A. 39:3-10.13, it is illegal for someone to operate a commercial motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration in excess of 0.04%.  In addition to a reduced tolerance for drinking and driving of a commerical vehicle, the law also provides for more stringent penalties, including suspension of the individuals commercial drivers license for one to three years.  It must be kept in mind, however, that should the commercial vehicle operator's blood alcohol concentration exceed the normal legal limit of 0.08%, he can expect to face a normal drinking and driving charge on top of commercial motor vehicle DWI/DUI.
