DUI and Traffic Violations
If you were charged with a traffic-related criminal offense, you may be facing heavy fines, jail time and loss of driving privileges, not to mention a permanent stain on your record. If you're under the age of 21 in Illinois and you are caught in possession of alcohol, you may lose your license —even if you were not inside your vehicle at the time you were caught. In addition, the state may suspend your license, depending on the nature of your offense and on whether you accept or refuse a Breathalyzer test.
At our firm, we defend clients against all types of drunk driving and traffic-related charges, including:
- DUI (also known as DWI and drunk driving)
- Repeat DUI/felony DUI
- DUI for commercial driver's license (CDL) holders
- Speeding
- Construction-zone speed limit violations
- Driving without insurance
We work tirelessly to help clients avoid jail time and, whenever appropriate, we seek alternative sentencing programs, including probation, conditional discharge, court supervision, diversion programs and counseling for drug or alcohol addiction.
