Driving Under the Influence | DUI
The state of Illinois has toughened the penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. After a DUI arrest, your driver’s license will automatically be revoked unless a court order is entered to rescind the revocation. The recent changes in the DUI laws make it even more difficult to obtain a restricted right to drive after a DUI arrest. First-time offenders are being charged with much more severe felony instead of a misdemeanor for simply not having a valid drivers license or an expired license.
As your lawyers, we will carefully examine the facts of your case and make sure that the police followed the proper procedures. When a client is arrested for a DUI, we examine all the facts including the following:
- Did the police have probable cause to stop the vehicle?
- What kinds of field sobriety tests were performed?
- Was there a Breathalyzer, lab or blood tests?
- If so, were the tests preformed properly?
- What were the results and how accurate were they?
After a DUI arrest, it is important to know your rights and to protect your rights. Obtaining an attorney will significantly improve your chances of an acquittal of the charges. Call today: (773) 677-3550
