Arrested
for DUI?

A DUI arrest can create two separate issues: the criminal charge and an administrative driver’s license suspension. The suspension may begin before the criminal case is resolved, and the deadlines to challenge it can be short.

Possibly. The answer depends on the legality of the stop, the evidence, the testing procedures, the officer’s observations and whether the State can prove every required element. A careful review may reveal grounds to challenge the case or negotiate a different result.

A first DUI can still affect your license, record, insurance and employment. Experienced counsel can help preserve defenses, explain the license consequences and guide you through decisions that may have long-term effects.

Jail is not automatic in every DUI case. Exposure depends on the classification of the charge, prior history, aggravating factors, injuries, chemical testing and the specific facts of the arrest.

Some drivers may qualify for a monitoring device driving permit, restricted driving permit or other limited relief. Eligibility depends on the type of suspension or revocation, prior history and Illinois Secretary of State requirements.

Fees depend on the seriousness of the charge, the court location, the amount of evidence and whether the case requires motions, hearings or trial. After reviewing the matter, we explain the scope of representation and the fee before you decide how to proceed.
