CDL Holders Face Harsh Consequences After DUI Convictions Geherin Law Group, PLLC. Offers Guidance

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Sept. 2, 2025 - PRLog -- Commercial drivers in Michigan face some of the strictest DUI penalties in the country, with even first-time offenses leading to a one-year disqualification of a commercial driver's license (CDL). For CDL holders, a DUI conviction doesn't just mean a fine or court appearance—it can end a career.

A recent article published by Geherin Law Group, PLLC. outlines the full impact of DUI charges on CDL drivers and provides a roadmap to driver's license restoration in Michigan. Among the key consequences discussed are:

• CDL disqualification for one to three years, or even lifetime bans for repeat offenses
• Loss of employment due to strict employer policies
• Revocation of personal driving privileges, which impacts daily responsibilities

The article also emphasizes the importance of early legal intervention and details the complex steps involved in restoring driving privileges, from preparing for a hearing with the Secretary of State to demonstrating sobriety and rehabilitation.

"Too many commercial drivers are caught off guard by how quickly a DUI can derail their livelihood," says Dan Geherin, a Michigan-based defense attorney who specializes in license restoration cases. "But there is a legal path forward—if they act quickly and strategically."
