Commercial Driver OWI
A CDL OWI Can Put Your Livelihood at Risk
Commercial drivers often face a different level of pressure after an OWI arrest. Employers, insurance requirements, federal rules, Wisconsin licensing consequences, and future employability may all be affected. A CDL holder should not treat an OWI like an ordinary traffic citation.
Attorney Glenn E. Avena reviews the stop, arrest, testing, refusal paperwork, license status, employment concerns, and whether the allegation involved a personal vehicle or commercial motor vehicle. The goal is to protect both the legal defense and the driver’s practical future.

Commercial Drivers Need OWI Defense That Understands the Job
A CDL holder may face pressure from several directions at once: the court case, Wisconsin licensing consequences, employer policies, insurance requirements, federal commercial driving rules, and the practical fear of losing income. Even an allegation involving a personal vehicle can create serious professional consequences.
Attorney Glenn E. Avena helps commercial drivers identify the legal and practical issues early. The defense may involve reviewing the traffic stop, testing evidence, prior record, whether the driver was operating a commercial motor vehicle, whether employment documents are relevant, and how the allegation could affect future driving work.
CDL clients should gather citations, DMV paperwork, employer notices, dispatch or route information if relevant, test documents, and any communication from an employer or licensing authority. The goal is to build a defense that accounts for the client’s livelihood, not just the next court date.
