Elmhurst criminal attorney Kevin O'Flaherty discusses first offense DUIs

In this article, our Elmhurst criminal lawyers explain first offense DUIs. If you are arrested for a DUI and it is your first offense, our Elmhurst DUI attorneys will assist you in obtaining a dismissal or reduction of your charges. This can often be accomplished by negotiating a plea deal with the state.

If a plea deal is not possible, we will assist you in obtaining court supervision, which will allow you to retain your license and avoid having a conviction on your record. If you receive court supervisions, you will likely be required to pay a fine, undergo an alcohol evaluation, participate in a Victim Impact Panel, and perform community service. After your court supervision requirements have been completed, your case will be dismissed, typically after 12 months.

Repeat Offense DUIs

In this article, our Elmhurst DUI lawyers discuss aggravated DUIs. If the DUI in question is not your first offense, you will not be eligible for court supervision, and you will automatically have your license revoked if you are convicted. Although jail time is a possibility, our experienced DUI attorneys can often negotiate community service instead of jail time. Your third DUI will be a felony.

Elmhurst Criminal attorney Kevin O'Flaherty discusses under what circumstances a DUI becomes an aggravated DUI. Kevin explains what turns a misdemeanor DUI into a felony DUI.

Statutory Summary Suspension Of Your License

Elmhurst criminal attorney Kevin O'Flaherty discusses the criminal process, what bonds are, your rights during an arrest, and how evidence is gathered.

In this article, our Elmhurst criminal lawyers explain statutory summary suspension of your driver's license. If you refuse to submit to a breathalyzer or if you submit and have over .08 Blood Alcohol Content, your license will be automatically suspended. If this is your first DUI and you refuse the breathalyzer, your license will be suspended for one year. If you submit to the breathalyzer and blow over .08 BAC, your license will be suspended for 6 months. Either suspension period will automatically begin 45 days after the date of your arrest. Even though the suspension will automatically start 45 days after your arrest, you will be entitled to a hearing. Your Petition for a Hearing must be filed within 90 days of your arrest, or your right to a hearing will be waived. The state is required to set your hearing for a date within 30 days of the date you filed your petition. At your hearing you can challenge whether the officer had probable cause to pull you over, whether a proper arrest was made, whether you received the legally required statutory summary suspension warnings, or whether you actually refused or failed the breathalyzer. Our experienced Elmhurst DUI attorneys will ensure that no stone is left un-turned in your defense and that you receive the best possible outcome under the law.
