Every day, 28 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver.
Driving under the influence of alcohol or other impairing drugs is a serious crime in Elmhurst, Bloomingdale, Downers Grove and all cities and counties in Illinois.
The Law
Throughout the state of Illinois, if your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is .08 or greater, you can be charged with a DUI offense. A DUI arrest results in a suspension of your driving privileges, but the laws are always changing.
Last year, the state eliminated the section of the law that designated a 30-day suspension of a driver’s license for first-time DUI offenders, but there are very specific parameters and restrictions to this mandate.
That is why you need to retain a qualified DUI defense attorney immediately upon your arrest.
A knowledgeable DUI defense lawyer is aware of the critical timing issues needed to maintain your driving privileges. These experts understand the requirements to interview witnesses and to file a motion to preserve any evidence.
All these are actions that you may not be able to handle on your own.
Every case is unique, so you want to ensure your lawyer is giving you the attention your situation deserves.
