Specialized DUI Defense Strategies
DUI charges for commercial drivers require defense tools that address not only the legality but also the repercussions on the driver's career. Our network of attorneys is well-versed in the methods that can make a substantial difference in the courtroom. These strategies might include contesting the validity of the sobriety testing equipment or challenging the officer's interpretation of the field sobriety tests.
Furthermore, our legal teams work diligently to investigate any discrepancies in the chain of evidence. Precision in details can often lead to a favorable decision, as evidence must be handled and processed according to strict protocols.
Impact Beyond the Courtroom
The implications of a DUI charge extend beyond legal complications, deeply affecting a commercial driver's personal life and job security. We at John Goehrs fully understand the far-reaching effects of these charges and channel our resources to mitigate the long-term damage to our clients' reputations and careers.

The Role of Evidence in DUI Defense
Evidence is the cornerstone of any legal defense, and its role in DUI cases is especially pivotal. For commercial drivers, contesting the accuracy and legality of the evidence presented against them is often the key to a successful defense. We concentrate our efforts on examining every detail, from the initial traffic stop to the final report.
Our adept legal teams delve deep into the procedural aspects of your case to ensure that each piece of evidence adheres to the strict guidelines required for it to be admissible. If any evidence is found to be compromised, we are prepared to challenge its inclusion vigorously.
Challenging Breathalyzer and Chemical Tests
Breathalyzer and other chemical tests are not infallible. They are prone to error due to a range of factors from technical malfunctions to improper administration. Our attorneys specialize in examining the specific circumstances under which these tests were conducted to identify and challenge any potential flaws.
From calibration records to the training and certification of the officer administering the test, we meticulously scrutinize every relevant factor. Successfully disputing the reliability of a chemical test can prove decisive in the outcome of a case.
Analyzing the Traffic Stop Protocol
The law mandates that officers adhere to a designated protocol during a traffic stop. Our legal representation assesses the legitimacy of the stop itself, evaluating whether there was a just cause or if any procedural missteps occurred.
If we find that the stop violated your rights or was handled incorrectly, we use this information to bolster your defense, calling into question the subsequent events that led to the DUI charge.
Assessing Field Sobriety Tests
Field sobriety tests are notoriously subjective, and their results rely heavily on the administering officer's judgment. Our attorneys are trained to identify any inconsistencies and question the objectivity of the tests conducted.
We consider all aspects of the field tests, including environmental conditions and the clarity of instructions, aiming to expose any element that may have compromised their validity.
Protecting Your Professional Reputation
For commercial drivers, a DUI charge is more than a legal hurdle; it's a threat to their professional reputation. At John Goehrs, we blend legal acumen with a profound understanding of the transportation industry to advocate for our clients' integrity. Safeguarding your professional identity is at the forefront of our defense strategy.
We collaborate with clients to develop personalized defense narratives that highlight their commitment to safety and their track record of responsible driving. These factors play a critical role in influencing the perception of judges and jurors, the ultimate decision-makers in your case.
Preventing License Suspension
The immediate suspension of a commercial driver's license is one of the most pressing concerns following a DUI charge. We work painstakingly to prevent license suspension, exploring every avenue from administrative hearings to alternative penalties.
Our understanding of state-specific laws enables us to fight for your driving privileges, ensuring that you retain the ability to work and support your livelihood during the legal process.
Navigating Employer Negotiations
Employers understandably have reservations about retaining a driver facing DUI charges. However, our legal teams are skilled in negotiating with employers, clearly communicating the steps being taken to resolve the case and the measures in place to prevent future issues.
We strive to maintain an open line of dialogue between all parties involved, facilitating trust and understanding that can lead to positive outcomes for our clients' employment status.

A DUI charge can lead to unwanted public attention and scrutiny. Our approach to defending your case includes repairing and managing your public image. This holistic strategy not only addresses the legal challenges but also the social repercussions of DUI charges.
We believe in proactive public relations efforts to mitigate any negative impact, underscoring the driver's reliability and emphasizing their unblemished history prior to the incident.
