DUI Arrest Creates Two Separate Legal Problems

If you are arrested for a DUI in Illinois, you may be facing both a criminal court case and an administrative suspension of your driver’s license. These proceedings have different rules and deadlines, and the license suspension can start before the criminal charge is resolved. O’Flaherty Law makes sure clients understand both sides of the case so they can make informed decisions and take action before important opportunities are lost.

DUI Charges in Illinois Explained

Under Illinois law it is illegal for a person to operate or be in actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, prescription medication, illegal drugs or combination of substances. A driver can also be charged with having a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or higher, even if the prosecution does not use evidence of unsafe driving. Penalties can include fines, court supervision or a conviction, alcohol or drug treatment, increased insurance rates and limitations on driving privileges.

A Defense Based on the Evidence

Every DUI case is fact specific. Our legal staff may investigate the reason for the traffic stop, police reports, body-camera footage, field sobriety tests, breath or blood test procedures, witness statements, and whether law enforcement followed the required rules. O’Flaherty Law gives you straightforward communication and practical advice while advocating for the best possible outcome for your Des Plaines DUI case.
