A driver can be charged with DUI if he registers a .08 % blood alcohol concentration (BAC) by way of a breath or blood test, or if there is other evidence of impaired driving under the influence of alcohol or
drugs. This charge carries stiff
penalties including jail up to one year, fine of $2,500 and
license suspension for up to one year. The penalties are enhanced where there a child under 16 in the car, if the driver has previous convictions on his or her record or if his or her BAC was particularly high.
Chicago DUI Defense Lawyer
The police may conduct illegal stops without good cause and misapply
field sobriety and breathalyzer test procedures. Our attorneys are well-versed in this area of law and the procedures police are required to follow. We vigilantly demand that evidence be suppressed when violations occur. Where the court throws out evidence, the charges are typically dismissed. We have helped many have their DUI charges dismissed and retain their privileges to drive. We urge you to contact us for a free confidential consultation.
