New Georgia CDL Laws effective January 1st, 2008!
Georgia has new commercial drivers license laws that took effect January 1st, 2008. Under these new laws, Georgia has designated certain offenses as "major traffic violations." These offenses include some which were formerly considered to be "serious traffic violations."
Under Georgia code section 40-5-142 the following offenses are now each designated as a "major traffic violation":
Driving under the influence (DUI) (Official Code of Georgia section 40-6-391).
Hit & run or leaving the scene of an accident (40-6-270); failure to report striking an unattended vehicle (40-6-271) or fixed object (40-6-272); failure to report an accident (40-6-273).
Any felony in which a commercial vehicle is used.
Driving a commercial vehicle with a revoked, suspended, canceled or disqualified commercial drivers license (CDL).
Homicide by vehicle (40-6-393).
Racing (40-6-186).
Using a commercial vehicle to flee or elude (40-6-395).
Fradulent or fictitious use of CDL or application for CDL.
Operating a commercial vehicle with revoked, canceled or suspended registration (40-6-15).
Theft of commercial vehicle hauling cargo (16-8-12).
Refusing to submit to breath, blood our urine test pursuant to a DUI arrest (4-5-55).
Mandatory CDL Disqualifications for a Major Traffic Violation!
If you are convicted of ONE major traffic violation, Georgia will disqualify you from getting a CDL for at least one year. Two convictions of a major traffic violations (even if both are from the same incident!) will cause Georgia to disqualify you for LIFE from getting a CDL. So, one incident involving a driving under the influence charge and a leaving the scene of an accident would result in a lifetime disqualification from getting a CDL, if you are convicted of both charges!

1. Truckers ARE Welcome Here:I want AND appreciate your business - the professional driver's business. I do my best to keep you driving and out of court. It makes me proud when people call me their "trucking attorney"!

4. I Work For A Living Too: Just like you, I have to earn my living everyday.
5. I Won't Do Your Taxes: Although I graduated from law school with honors (cum laude), no attorney can be an expert on everything. I focus on traffic, criminal and drivers license issues. If you need a tax lawyer I will try to find you one. But, I want your criminal or traffic case.
6. Access To Attorneys State-wide: I am a member of two state-wide defense attorney groups. Whether you need an Atlanta trucking attorney or a Valdosta defense attorney, I can help you find one.
7. Your Time Is Your Money: If you are a professional driver then you make money sitting behind the wheel, not sitting on a court bench. I try to keep you out of court as much as possible.

10. Traffic Tickets And Criminal Cases Aren't Wine: They don't all get better with age! The sooner you call me the more chance I have of working the case around your schedule or even keeping you out of court all together! Call me as soon as you know you have a problem.
