Success in DUI Cases: Protect Your Record, License and Freedom
Even a first offense for misdemeanor DUI is punishable by up to a year in jail and a suspension of your driving privileges for six months or longer. If you have a commercial driver's license, the potential consequences are often more severe. Our experience finding the right defense strategies can help protect your rights and driving privileges.
We handle such Illinois DUI charges as:
- First-offense DUI
- Repeat DUI charges, including felonies based on prior DWI convictions from other states
- Vehicular homicide or assault charges related to drunk driving accidents
- Driver's license suspension, revocation and reinstatement hearings
- DUI charges based on field sobriety test results
- DUI charges based on unreliable blood or breath test evidence
Recent changes in Illinois DUI laws have lengthened the suspension periods for even first offenders in drunk driving cases, and we can review the full range of your defense options to protect your record, avoid punishment and keep your license to drive.
Possible grounds for a successful DUI defense include lack of probable cause to stop your vehicle and detain you, improper administration of the Breathalyzer and field sobriety tests, biochemical factors, and others. Whenever advisable, we will seek to suppress damaging evidence and witness testimony through the use of pretrial motions.
