A drunk driving conviction has the power to significantly alter your life, taking away your driving privileges and independence, possibly for years, sometimes even forever. Rarely are these cases airtight against a charged individual, but you need the skill of a criminal defense lawyer to find the inconsistencies in the prosecution's case to have the charges reduced or thrown out.
I have handled many of these cases. As a former prosecutor, I know exactly where to begin looking when checking law enforcement's work in DUI related cases.
Chicago and Palatine Drunk Driving Charge Attorney
Almost always, there are legal issues that occur on the initial stop. The police must have a reason to pull you over. Once they do so, they must follow a very specific sequence of events in testing you for intoxication. Even if the entire stop is conducted according to protocol, many times there are accuracy issues with the equipment and testing supplies used.
I will thoroughly review the evidence in the matter, including dash cams, to find where the case against you collapses, and use this to have your charges minimized or thrown out entirely.
Cook County and Schaumburg DUI Defense Attorney
Felony DUI charges are costly and lasting. In Illinois it is now a felony to get a DUI while driving on a suspended license. Repeat offenders, or those who have caused an accident by DUI, also face accelerated sentencing. This can involve more than five years in jail and thousands of dollars in fines. You cannot afford to face these charges without the best representation possible.
