Because of the increased danger associated with tractor-trailers, buses, delivery vans, and other commercial vehicles, truck drivers are held to a lower threshold for driving under the influence in Arizona. By state law, CDL-licensed drivers are charged with a class 1 misdemeanor DUI if they are found to have a blood alcohol concentration of 0.04 percent or greater. The charge applies whether the driver was on duty in a commercial vehicle or in a private vehicle at the time.

Your CDL license and your livelihood are at risk, and it is critical to fight this charge as vigorously as possible. At The Law Offices of John Phebus Criminal and Personal Injury Lawyer, our experienced Glendale DUI Lawyer who concentrate largely on DUI offenses, have represented numerous clients arrested in Glendale, the greater Phoenix metropolitan area and throughout Scottsdale County, including CDL truckers stopped on Highway 101, I-10, I-8, or I-17 while hauling through Arizona. If you have a commercial driver’s license and were pulled over in Scottsdale County for DUI, contact a Phoenix attorney at The Law Offices of John Phebus Criminal and Personal Injury Lawyer who can immediately protect your rights.
If convicted, minimum DUI penalties in Glendale for a CDL license holder include:
Refusal to submit to a blood alcohol test will result in an automatic one-year suspension of your license, regardless of the outcome of criminal charges. A second offense refusal can result in permanent loss of your CDL license.
Because of the .04 percent threshold, there is a substantially larger margin for error in the blood and breath analysis. This is one basis we can examine for fighting a CDL drunk driving charge. We examine every fact of the case during the discovery phase to find any viable grounds for a legal challenge:
If we do not believe you can win in court (dismissal of charges or favorable jury verdict), our attorneys will diligently negotiate with the prosecutor for a reduced charge (e.g. reckless driving) that may enable you to continue in your trucking, bus driver or other CDL career.

Gave me great information, spoke to sone one right away, was honest, didn’t try to sale me on anything I didn’t need, didn’t try to take advantage just for the sake of a dime. I would recommend if you need a Civil Traffic Law Firm. They are smaller so they do not take on a bunch of client where you just fall into groups. I spoke to Lugi, nice and professional.
Luigi was incredibly helpful in answering my questions about civil traffic violations. He explained everything clearly and thoroughly, making a complicated topic much easier to understand. His responses were prompt, accurate, and showed a strong understanding of the subject. I really appreciated his professionalism and patience throughout the conversation. Highly recommend!
