A DUI case in Illinois can impact more than the outcome of a criminal charge. Depending on the circumstances, you could also lose your driving privileges, be fined, directed to court and face other consequences that can interfere with your work and daily life. For example, Illinois law prohibits driving with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher, but a driver can also be charged based on impairment from alcohol, drugs or a combination of substances.
Just because you are arrested for a DUI doesn’t mean your case is decided. A traffic stop, officer observations, field sobriety testing, chemical testing, and arrest procedures may all be relevant in assessing a case. The Bloomington DUI lawyers at O’Flaherty Law can review the circumstances of your arrest, explain your options in simple terms and help you determine how to proceed with the criminal case and any driver’s license issues.
One of the first concerns that often comes up after a DUI arrest is whether or not you will be able to continue driving. Illinois has a statutory summary suspension process that is separate from the DUI criminal case. The suspension usually starts on the 46th day after notice and the length of the suspension may depend on whether chemical testing was failed or refused and if there are prior offenses. O’Flaherty Law can help you understand these separate proceedings and the options that may be available to you in your situation.

Yes. A .08 blood alcohol concentration is one way Illinois law defines DUI, but it is not the only way. A person may also face a DUI charge if the government alleges that alcohol impaired the person's ability to drive, even without a BAC of .08 or higher. The evidence surrounding the stop and arrest can therefore be important even when a breath or blood test is below the legal limit.
Yes. Illinois DUI law applies to drugs as well as alcohol. A person may be charged if a drug or combination of drugs makes them incapable of safely driving. Having a legal prescription does not automatically prevent a DUI charge if the medication allegedly caused impairment.
No. Illinois treats the statutory summary suspension of driving privileges and the criminal DUI charge as separate matters. A statutory summary suspension may result from refusing or failing chemical testing and can take effect before the criminal DUI case is resolved. This is one reason it can be important to address driver's license concerns soon after an arrest.
