Protecting Your Rights After a DUI Arrest
If you have been arrested and charged with a DUI (also referred to as a DWI) in southern Illinois, you are facing a number of serious potential consequences.
Your Illinois driver's license could be suspended. If you hold a commercial driver's license, you might not be able to work. If you were arrested as an out-of-state driver, the license issued by your home state could be suspended as well. Jail time is also a possibility.
At the office of Scott B. Meyer, Attorney at Law, we aggressively defend clients against charges of drinking and driving and driving under the influence, working to minimize the consequences and let you move on with your life. With 30 years of experience, our Belleville DUI/DWI attorney has the knowledge and skill needed to protect your rights and your freedom. We work hard to build strong defenses, asking questions like:
- Was the Breathalyzer test administered properly?
- Was the traffic stop legal?
- Were field sobriety tests performed correctly?
The bottom line? When you need an experienced drunk driving defense lawyer in St. Clair County or surrounding portions of southern Illinois, call 618-207-3139, toll free 866-520-8903 or contact our law firm online.
Traffic Violations Defense
After being pulled over and given a traffic ticket, most people assume that there's nothing they can do about it and that they should just go ahead and pay the fine. In some cases, these people are right. In others, not so much. The only way to find out is to talk to a lawyer who knows the traffic laws and the local courts.
Our criminal defense attorney has those assets and has effectively helped adult and juvenile drivers cited for:
- Speeding violations
- Failure to stop or failure to yield
- Reckless driving
- Other serious traffic offenses
We work hard to get traffic tickets dismissed, reduced to offenses that carry fewer points or secure minimum penalties or suspensions whenever possible.
