We are the actual attorneys who will oversee every detail of your case. If you are a CDL driver looking for legal representation, always ask these two questions about every resource you talk to: Are you a CDL defense law firm? Do you represent only truckers? If they don't answer yes to both of these questions – and chances are they won't – they simply can't offer you the best chance for a successful outcome.
Representing truckers is all we do – fighting for your job and driving record is what we do best. We have handled nearly 400,000 defense cases since 1991 and have positively affected the outcome in 95% of them.
Truckers often think they're talking to a law firm, but they're talking to a third-party agency who, once you sign on, will refer you to an attorney. There's no guarantee that attorney will be knowledgeable about CDL law or they will know anything about how that violation will impact your license in your home state. Those two factors can make all the difference.
Interstate Trucker will help you navigate the CDL minefield and manage your CSA SMS score to keep your job and maintain your good driving record. We are with you from beginning to the successful end.
Remember, you'll never have an unexpected charge with Interstate Trucker. We quote one flat fee upfront, and regardless of the hours it takes us to complete your case, we will never charge you any additional legal fees.
Jim spent the early part of his law career as a prosecutor. This experience gave him an in-depth understanding of how law enforcement works, how lawyers and judges handle cases, and what to expect from law enforcement.
Through that experience, he realized the unfair standards placed on truckers and the lack of fair representation. He knew drivers were losing their CDLs when it could have been prevented. Time and time again, he went to trial as a prosecutor against a driver who had no legal representation, and that driver was found guilty. While many would call this a successful career record, Jim called it the turning point. He knew he wanted to help truckers defend themselves against a system setting them up to fail.
That was 1990, one year before the CDL license was required nationwide. Jim left his job at the prosecutor's office to create his own practice dedicated to helping truckers. His first step was to take the CDL exam himself to see what drivers were going through.
Since then, Jim and the team at Interstate Trucker have earned the trust of individual truckers and carriers nationwide, defending nearly 400,000 cases in the continental 48 states.
