South Carolina Commercial Driver’s License Ticket Defense

If you hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL) your employer most likely has zero tolerance for moving violations. Commercial driver's license holders are held to a higher standard because they drive for a living. If you receive a conviction for a traffic violation, you could lose your CDL, and consequently, your job. Before that happens, arrange a free consultation with Ray Lord, of Lord Law Firm.

Call (866) 603-6656 or (803) 932-6126 or send us an e-mail for immediate help on CDL ticket avoidance. We are based in Irmo, right outside of Columbia, South Carolina.

Former Police Officer Uses His Knowledge for Your Defense

As a former police officer and prosecutor working in this region of South Carolina, I know the mistakes that law enforcement officials can make when making allegations of traffic offenses. Because of my years of experience, I know the court system and I know what my clients need for a successful defense.

Working Hard for CDL Ticket Avoidance

In a significant number of CDL traffic violation cases, I have handled, I have been able to help my clients negotiate dismissals or reductions in their charges.

Successful Defense of Out-of-State Drivers

A large percentage of my practice helping CDL drivers is made up of clients from out of state who were driving through South Carolina on I-95, on I-20, I-26, I-77 or on state highways. In most cases, I am able to appear on your behalf and you will not need to return to South Carolina for court.
