Sometimes good people get caught in a bad situation and find themselves charged with a crime. This can be a very overwhelming and terrifying time. The most important thing that you can do to help yourself is immediately call an experienced criminal defense attorney. As a former Assitant State's Attorney and Village Prosecutor, I will put my 25 years of experience to work for you in aggressively defending the charges brought against you, whether it is a DUI, Felony, Misdemeanor or traffic offense. I practice in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake and McHenry counties and have extensive trial experience including both jury and bench trials. When your liberty is at stake, you can't afford to take your chances on hiring an attorney without the years of experience, aggressiveness and skills that I have.
If you are arrested, immediately request an attorney. Do not make any statements to the police or prosecutors without an attorney there for you. Always be polite and respectful to police. Arguing with or being belligerent to them will not help you but can hurt the outcome of your case.
The best way to avoid a DUI is not to drive if you have been drinking too much. If you have been drinking and are stopped by the police, you are not required to perform field sobriety tests or a portable breath test. You are also not required to answer any questions about how much if anything you have had to drink or anything else. You, in most cases, are not required to submit to a breath test, blood or urine test. You can also be convicted of a DUI, even if you are not driving the vehicle. If you are intoxicated and are in physical control of the vehicle (which can include sleeping in the back seat with the keys in the glove compartment), you can be covicted if a DUI. The penalties forva DUI in Illinois are very severe including jail, loss of your driving privileges, community service and high fines.
Call me immediately after you have been arrested. I offer flexible payment plans for your convenience.
