CDL HOLDERS - Call LaScola Law Office today for your defense. CDL Masking is a serious matter, and knowing the right path for your defense is something that LaScola Law Offices takes very seriously. Speak with our attorneys today if you are charged with any traffic violation as a CDL holder.

--------------

CDL masking is the illegal or prohibited practice of hiding, altering, or delaying traffic convictions for commercial driver's license (CDL) holders. Under federal law (49 CFR § 384.226), courts and state licensing agencies are forbidden from covering up moving violations so they do not appear on a driver's official record.To ensure transparency and road safety, federal and state regulations strictly dictate how tickets are handled for CDL drivers:

Prohibited Actions (Masking):
Courts cannot hide traffic violations by offering deferred judgments, diversion programs, probation, or allowing drivers to take traffic safety courses to erase a ticket.

Applies to Personal Vehicles: The anti-masking law applies to a CDL holder even if they receive the ticket while driving their personal vehicle.

Exceptions: The rule does not apply to non-moving violations, such as equipment defects, parking tickets, or overweight violations.

What is Still Legal: CDL drivers can still go to court, plead not guilty, and challenge the ticket. Prosecutors are also allowed to engage in legitimate plea bargains that reduce moving violations to non-moving violations before a conviction is entered.

CDL DRIVER? Call LaScola Law Offices, Ltd. today! We will fight for you and your job! GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO HELP JANYAH! THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS!

Janyah Julien

Mr. Lascola Law Firm represented me recently and I was very satisfied with the outcome. I am a CDL holder and was able to get the MPH lowered from a Misdemeanor to a Petty Offense. He fought hard and strong for me to keep my job at my current employer. The communication throughout the process leading up to my court date was excellent. He provided me with need to know information from his years of experience, which I greatly appreciated. I would recommend him to anyone who may need a lawyer for traffic offenses.

Martin LaScola - a resource to clients and other attorneys alike!

Thank you for the kind words Debra!

Debra Farida

Martin LaScola at this practice is a phenomenal attorney. Extremely knowledgeable with respect to the traffic court system. Process was easy. Got tickets reduced with supervision and payment secured was minimal. Martin is absolutely worth the money and I also felt his rate was inexpensive. His attention to detail is outstanding. There was even an attorney at the courthouse seeking his advice on how to handle his client’s DUI/CDL case. Highly recommend Martin!

Therapeutic Intensive Monitoring Courts (Drug Court - Mental Health Court - Veteran's Treatment and Assistance Court, et. al.)

Offering sound legal advice is of paramount importance at LaScola Law Offices, LTD. However, in addition to meeting all legal advocacy needs, the attorneys working with you or your loved one will be well versed in all treatment options and resources made available. Treatment Courts can change lives and as such, the attorneys at LaScola Law Offices have paid special attention to the benefits that can be derived from such programs.

Here is a Drug Court commencement speech given by Trey Anastasio, lead singer of the band "Phish" - Drug Court saves lives.

Hi everyone. My name is Trey Anastasio, and I am a proud graduate of the Washington County public drug treatment court.

I can't begin to describe how moving it is for me to be here today. In 2006, my life was a wreck. I was arrested and sent into drug court. At the time, it seemed like the worst thing that ever happened to me. I was in drug court for 14 months, and then a couple years of probation. Today, I say from the depths of my heart, that that was the greatest thing that ever happened in my life -- for me, for my wife, for my kids, my parents. It's indescribable. I just want to dig deep down and say thank you to all of you. I don't even know if you can be aware of the positive effects you are having. Not just on the drug court participants, but on their families and everyone they come into contact with. I am a huge supporter of drug court, and a huge supporter of everything that all of you do. So thank you.

I am going to say one more thing and then I get to introduce the senator. My case manager's name is Melanie Vaughn. She could not be here today. When I was in drug court, she scared me. [laughs] I ended up going to jail, and you know everything that happens in drug court. Today, she is one of my best friends. We text each other all the time. The reason she couldn't be here is 'cause in Washington County -- which is in New York, upstate New York, very economically depressed part of the country -- there is one case manager in Washington County drug treatment court for probably about 60 or 70 participants. She couldn't afford to be here and she couldn't take the time. But she sends her love. And I send my love to you, Melanie, and wish you could be here. And like I said, thank all of you. Keep doing what you are doing.

So I am going to introduce Senator Robert Menedez. And I grew up in New Jersey, so it's an honor for me to introduce the senator from New Jersey. Senator Menedez is a true champion of drug courts. In 2008, Senator Menedez co-sponsored legislation declaring May as National Drug Court Month. Senator Menedez has supported drug courts, not only in New Jersey, but has insured drug courts throughout the country receive the funding they need by signing letters to his colleagues supporting drug courts. Senator Menedez, we all rise to thank you for being a supporter of drug courts.

What happens when my loved one is found "Unfit to Stand Trial" in Illinois? LaScola Law Offices, LTD. is ready to guide you through this process and to advocate within the Department of Human Services.

The median wait time for defendants found unfit to stand trial to transfer to a state psychiatric facility rose from 40 days to 116 days between 2019 and 2024, despite an extension of the legal transfer timeline in 2023.

The Illinois Department of Human Services tracks the median wait time (in days) between a judge ordering treatment and the defendant's transfer to a psychiatric facility:
2019: 40 days
2020: 40 days
2021: 70.5 days
2022: 76 days
2023: 97 days
2024: 105 days
2025: 116 days (Note: Rose to 116 days for the full year)
2025 (Jan - Oct): 89 days

To manage the severe backlog and relieve pressure on local jails, the state legislature officially extended the legal transfer deadline from 20 days to 60 days, effective January 18, 2023. However, systemic capacity constraints continue to cause wait times that far exceed this extended limit.

Compassionate, Empathetic, Skilled - an attorney who cares for his clients!

Edgar Madrigal

I cannot thank Mr. LaScola enough for the incredible job he did handling my case. From the very beginning he was professional, knowledgeable, honest, and truly dedicated to helping me get the best possible outcome. He was the only attorney who had faith in me. He made the impossible possible! He kept me informed throughout the entire process, answered all of my questions, was very responsive, and made a very stressful situation much easier to handle.

His experience and hard work clearly showed in the results, and I am extremely grateful for everything he did for me. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney who genuinely cares about his clients and fights for them, I highly recommend Mr. LaScola. Five stars all the way!!!!!
