For more information about drunk driving defense in Illinois, please click on the following links:
- DUI defense: Facing drunk driving charges can feel overwhelming, especially because most people who get a DUI have never been involved in the legal system before.
- Underage DUI: DUI laws for those under the age of 21 are severe in Illinois and can affect your child's life for years into the future.
- Driver's license suspension or revoked license: For most people, protecting their right to drive is their biggest concern following a drunk driving arrest.
- Second DUI offenses: A second DUI arrest could require imprisonment, but there are ways to avoid jail time as well. It could also revoke your license for a longer period of time. One more arrest and you will face felony charges.
- Felony/aggravated DUI: A third DUI offense is a felony in Illinois. To avoid potentially devastating consequences, you should hire a defense lawyer as soon as possible.
- Drug-related DUI: Driving under the influence of illegal drugs or prescription drugs can have the same consequences as drunk driving.
- SCRAM bracelets and interlock devices: While costly, an interlock device offers you a way to continue driving while your driver's license is suspended in Illinois. If you have multiple prior DUI's, you may be required to wear a SCRAM bracelet.
