Motion for Appropriate Relief Granted in Guilford County

Victory – Fathers’ Visitation Restored

Appeal Won for Civil Revocation of a CDL
Dummit Fradin's Greensboro DWI Team Wins Civil Revocation of CDL Appeal A Greensboro client with a commercial driver's license, or CDL, was charged with DWI in Guilford County.

Otherwise, the revocation is allowed to stand and it will disqualify their CDL. Fortunately, our Greensboro client advised us of his issue with only a few days left to petition for a hearing. our legal team filed [...]
