The stakes are high for commercial drivers facing Administrative License Revocation (ALR) suspensions. For CDL holders, losing a license isn’t just a temporary inconvenience; it can mean a lifetime suspension, resulting in the potential loss of livelihood.
The Law Office of Shawn C. Brown P.C., with attorney Bryan Orihel at the forefront, recently achieved significant victories, helping clients maintain their CDLs despite challenging circumstances.
ALR suspensions for CDL drivers come with strict repercussions. Unlike standard license suspensions, CDL suspensions can extend far longer, and in some cases, may even become permanent. Such a suspension can disrupt careers, threaten job security, and impact family stability.
Recently, multiple clients facing lifetime CDL suspensions approached the firm, uncertain about their futures after adverse rulings by lower administrative courts.
Attorney Bryan Orihel, a seasoned advocate for CDL drivers, recognized inconsistencies in the lower courts’ rulings. Believing these decisions to be legally unfounded, Orihel appealed both cases, arguing before higher courts and presenting case law to support his clients. Winning these appeals wasn’t straightforward.
The burden of evidence needed to uphold these suspensions is minimal, making it a challenge to overturn such rulings. But with unwavering determination, Orihel argued that the original suspensions lacked sufficient legal backing.
In both cases, the higher courts ruled in favor of Orihel, overturning the suspensions and enabling clients to retain their CDL licenses. These victories were more than just courtroom wins; they allowed CDL drivers to continue working, supporting their families, and moving forward with their lives.
Navigating ALR suspensions requires in-depth legal expertise and a keen understanding of the appeal process. For CDL drivers facing daunting suspensions, the Law Office of Shawn C. Brown P.C., guided by Bryan Orihel’s dedication and knowledge, continues to deliver the advocacy needed to protect clients’ careers and futures.
