Palatine OWI/DUI Defense With Practical Guidance

A DUI charge in Illinois can move faster than you'd believe and before your case is even done in court you might already be dealing with the consequences. The calendar may be filling up with court dates, you could be facing a license suspension, fines are piling up, and your insurance company is breathing down your neck - not to mention the stress of not knowing where you're headed. That's where O’Flaherty Law comes in, helping clients in Palatine make sense of the whole court process, figuring out what deadlines you need to keep an eye on, and what defence options are out there for your situation based on the stop, the arrest, the tests you took, and all the evidence.

Understanding DUI Charges in Illinois

In Illinois, a driver gets charged with DUI if their BAC is .08 or higher, or if some substance - alchohol, illicit drugs, prescription meds, or whatever else - is keeping you from driving safely. A DUI case may have not one but two separate problems to deal with - a criminal charge on one hand, and a separate driver's license issue called a statutory summary suspension on the other. So, protecting your license and fighting the criminal charge may require you to keep an eye on different parts of the process, hit different deadlines, and pay close attention to what's going on - and it all starts right from the beginning.

What O’Flaherty Law Can Do for You

Our lawyers take the time to go through your case in detail - the traffic stop, the field sobriety tests, breath or blood testing, any police reports or video evidence, and whether everything was done by the book. We work with you to walk you through what might happen next, identify any weaknesses in the prosecution's case, and come up with a defence that fits your goals - be that a first time DUI or a repeat offender. At O’Flaherty Law, we are about one thing above all else - clear, steady, and honest communication.
