Las Vegas Commercial DUI Lawyer

Protecting Commercial Drivers' Licenses in Nevada 

Commercial drivers are held to a higher standard than other motorists on the road. This is because they operate large, heavy vehicles that can cause catastrophic damage and injury if an accident occurs. As such, commercial drivers are held to stricter standards when it comes to driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs or alcohol.

In Nevada, commercial drivers face a different DUI standard than other motorists. If you're a commercial driver arrested for DUI in Las Vegas or Henderson, act fast and consult with a seasoned attorney.

At Goodman Law Group, we can help you understand your options and work to protect your commercial driver's license. Our legal team is highly skilled in this complex area of law, and we know what it takes to win.

Commercial Drivers & DUI in Nevada

Nevada takes DUI very seriously. If you are a commercial driver, you can face enhanced penalties if you are caught driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In fact, you can be charged with DUI for having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of just 0.04% or higher if you are a commercial driver. This is half the legal limit for regular motorists.

Additionally, the penalties for commercial DUI in Nevada are much more severe than those for regular DUI. Commercial drivers are held to a higher standard and are expected to obey all traffic laws and safety regulations. When they fail to do so, they can be held accountable.

What are the Penalties for a Commercial DUI in Nevada? 

If you are a commercial driver who is convicted of DUI, you can face various penalties, including those that affect your ability to work and earn a living.

Penalties for commercial DUI in Nevada include:

  • Up to 6 months in jail
  • Fines of up to $1,000
  • License suspension of 1-3 years
  • Ignition interlock device (IID) installation for 1-3 years
  • Permanent criminal record
  • Loss of employment

Additionally, if you are convicted of a second commercial DUI within 7 years, you can face a lifetime ban on your commercial driver's license.

Client Success Stories

    "I switched and hired Mr. Goodman and could not have been more impressed with the outcome. You do get what you pay for."
    I met with Mr. Goodman who answered all my questions and knew his stuff.  I decided to hire a less expensive attorney but was not happy with the progress ended up being a waste of money with the other guy. I switched and hired Mr. Goodman and could not have been more impressed with the outcome. You do get what you pay for. I should have gone with my gut reaction at the beginning that would have saved me anxiety, time, and money. Don’t make the same mistake.

    "Above and beyond my expectations."

    Being faced with such a difficult situation was overwhelming, but your strategic approach and guidance provided both comfort and hope. Your commitment to my daughters case went above and beyond my expectations, and I am truly thankful for all the hard work you put into securing my daughters release from jail.

    Your legal acumen and advocacy skills are truly remarkable, and I feel fortunate to have had you and Ross by my daughters side throughout this ordeal. Your guidance not only helped my daughter regain her freedom but also provided me with a better understanding of the legal process.

    "This is the kind of attorney you don’t just recommend — you insist people hire. Worth every penny."
    Ross Goodman is, without question, in a league of his own. From our very first meeting, it was clear this wasn’t just another defense attorney — Ross is the real deal. He knows the system, commands respect in the courtroom, and he knows how to get results when it matters the most.

    To be completely honest, we didn’t hire Ross right away — and that was our first mistake. We initially went with another well-known law firm, thinking we were getting a specific high-profile attorney. But when it came time for court, instead of the person we were promised, they sent in a junior lawyer we’d never met. I couldn’t even get straight answers to basic questions, and it quickly became clear that we were just another file on someone’s desk.

    That experience made me double down and insist that we bring Ross Goodman onto the case. I had already met with him in person and had done my homework. After spending an entire afternoon watching interviews, YouTube clips, and reading about his background (and his incredible family — yes, I’m now also a fan of his dad, Oscar Goodman), I knew this was the attorney we had to have. Thankfully, we made the switch — and everything changed.

    He took a very serious situation and turned it into a manageable, strategic resolution. He negotiated a plea that avoided a felony conviction — something we honestly didn’t think was possible. That outcome didn’t happen by chance — it happened because he knows how to talk to prosecutors, how to protect his clients when the stakes are high, and how to be the very best at what he does.

    He’s not the cheapest attorney in town — and that’s exactly the point. If you’re gambling with your freedom, your record, or your future, you want someone with real experience and a proven reputation. You don’t hire Ross to hope for a good outcome , you hire him because you want the best possible one.

    This is the kind of attorney you don’t just recommend — you insist people hire.
    Worth every penny.

    Attorney Goodman is a very personable person who operates with the utmost professionalism.

I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a similar bind.

    "Don't hesitate, hire him immediately!"
    I had met with Ross in his office and within three seconds I knew I had to hire him. His right hand Tiffanie was professional and friendly and kept me informed of all court dates, which Ross appeared twice on my behalf without me even having to show up. I
