Frequently asked questions
I drive I-40 through New Mexico. Can you handle my ticket remotely?
In most magistrate and metro courts, yes — our attorneys appear on your behalf so you don't lose a route day. Given how much interstate freight crosses New Mexico, these courts see out-of-state CDL defendants constantly.
Why can't the court just defer my CDL ticket?
Federal anti-masking rules (49 CFR 384.226) prohibit courts from concealing or deferring a CDL holder's convictions — even for tickets in your personal vehicle. The only clean outcomes are dismissal or amendment to a non-disqualifying charge, which is what our attorneys negotiate for.
Which violations put my CDL at risk of disqualification?
The federal 'serious violation' list: 15+ mph over the limit, reckless driving, improper lane changes, following too closely, and texting behind the wheel, among others. Two convictions in three years sidelines your CDL for 60 days.
Does a New Mexico conviction follow me to my home state?
Yes — CDLIS and the interstate compact make sure of it. Fighting the ticket in New Mexico is the only point in the process where the outcome can actually be changed.
