Kevin's firm handled setting up my will and trust recently. They took something that seemed intimidating and made it easy to understand. I've also referred a couple clients to Kevin - he's trustworthy, approachable and very fairly priced.
"I've used Kevin and his firm's services since 2011. He gave undivided attention to my cases, advised me on different options and..."
"Kevin was extremely professional, responsive and knowledgeable when I came to him for help. I would definitely recommend O'Flaherty Law!"

Generally, Illinois uses the term DUI, or Driving Under the Influence, rather than OWI. You could be charged with a DUI if you are driving or in actual physical control of a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher, or while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, intoxicating compounds or a combination of substances. Importantly, a BAC below .08 does not preclude a DUI charge if there is other evidence of intoxication. A DUI arrest can involve both a criminal court case and a separate driver’s license issue so it is important to understand how each process may impact you.
One of the first questions after a DUI arrest is often, “Can I still drive?” Illinois has a statutory summary suspension process that is separate and apart from the DUI criminal case. If a driver fails or refuses a qualifying chemical test, he or she can be suspended, and the suspension can go into effect before the criminal charge is resolved. In some cases, first time offenders may be eligible for driving relief through a Monitoring Device Driving Permit and a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device. Acting quickly means your attorney has more time to review the traffic stop, testing procedures, police reports and any challenges to the suspension.
No two DUI cases are exactly the same. The reason for the stop, field sobriety testing, breath or blood testing, body-camera footage, witness statements and whether law enforcement followed proper procedures all factor into the state’s case. At O’Flaherty Law, we take the time to understand what happened and explain the possible paths forward in layman’s terms. Whether you are dealing with a first DUI or a more serious charge, we want to help you make informed decisions and get the best possible outcome for your situation.
