Illinois DUI Law โ€” What You're Facing

In Illinois, a DUI conviction carries severe consequences: license suspension or revocation, heavy fines, possible jail time, mandatory alcohol education, and a permanent criminal record. Even a first offense can impact your employment, professional licenses, and immigration status. But an arrest is not a conviction โ€” and our experienced Chicago DUI defense attorneys know how to challenge the evidence, protect your rights, and fight for the best possible outcome.

DUI Defense Strategies That Work

Effective DUI defense begins with a thorough review of every detail: Was the traffic stop legally justified? Were field sobriety tests administered correctly? Was the breathalyzer properly calibrated and maintained? Was blood evidence properly handled and stored? Our Chicago DUI attorneys are skilled at identifying procedural errors, constitutional violations, and evidentiary weaknesses that can lead to reduced charges or outright dismissal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about your case โ€” then call us for a free, personalized consultation.

Illinois has implied consent laws โ€” refusing a breathalyzer results in an automatic 12-month license suspension versus 6 months if you take and fail the test. The right choice depends on your specific situation. Contact an attorney immediately after any DUI arrest.
DUI convictions generally cannot be expunged in Illinois. However, if your case was dismissed or you were acquitted, expungement may be possible. This is one of many reasons why fighting the charge aggressively from the very start matters enormously.
Your license may be suspended under Illinois's Statutory Summary Suspension law โ€” automatically, before any conviction. Our attorneys can request a hearing to contest the suspension and may obtain a Monitoring Device Driving Permit (MDDP) to allow limited driving.
A first DUI is typically a Class A misdemeanor: up to 1 year in jail, fines up to $2,500, minimum 1-year license revocation, and mandatory alcohol evaluation. Aggravating factors can elevate charges to a felony. Experienced defense can significantly reduce these consequences.
