I got a DUI at a "livestop" roadblock. I have a CDL, although I don't use it, its a requirement for my job with the city. They didn't read me my rights, and the field test was in a parking lot on a slight incline. Is this information I can use to get my charges dropped? Will my license be suspended, and how much out of pocket expense will I incur, do they ever drop charges involving a DUI. I was not given a blood test and I work a 2pm to 10pm shift and this happened about 1am in the morning, does that help my case. I don't know my bac, they never told me.

While I don't practice in your state, here is my take on your questions.
First, you need to hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer. Don't skimp on the cost because with a CDL license, a conviction will usually stop you from getting it back. Second, No, they don't usually drop the charges due to the things you've mentioned. He/she will be given the BAC once they are on the case. Third, the fact that you weren't given "your rights" is immaterial unless you gave a statement in response to police questions which in custody. The field test will normally stand anyway, but the slant will cast some doubt upon it. Nobody can tell you from a web site response what the outcome of your case will be. The lawyer who you hire will be in the best position to do so. Good luck.
