A Greensboro client with a commercial driver’s license, or CDL, was charged with DWI in Guilford County. As a result, our client was also hit with a civil revocation of his CDL, also known as a CVR. A civil revocation of a CDL can result in disqualification from using a CDL for one year. This means that CDL holders also face potentially losing their job if the civil revocation stands.

Civil-Revocation-of-a-CDL-Appeal-Won

One of the biggest obstacles to handling these types of cases is that clients have exactly 10 days to appeal a civil revocation of a CDL. Otherwise, the revocation is allowed to stand and it will disqualify their CDL. Fortunately, our Greensboro client advised us of his issue with only a few days left to petition for a hearing.

Criminal defense attorney Patrick Apple filed a strong motion in opposition to the civil revocation and scheduled a hearing in front of a district court judge.

He made sure to file each defense in his motion in opposition to the civil revocation to protect the rights of our client.

As a result, the appeal was granted and our client was able to keep his job working and using his CDL throughout the pending DWI.
