Defendant retains Abood Law Firm. Defendant drove a bus for a living, a job that he had for many years and was making a good living. Along with the licensing sanctions imposed by the Secretary of State for a conviction of either Operating While Intoxicated or Operating While Impaired, a conviction of either would have resulted in Defendant losing his Commercial Driver’s License for a year, which would have ultimately resulted in loss of his job and livelihood.
