Skilled Illinois Drunk Driving Defense
Illinois takes drunk driving seriously. Penalties for convictions include driver's license suspension, jail time and heavy fines. If you have a commercial driver's license (CDL), you could permanently lose your license. Because your freedom and financial stability are at stake, you need an experienced lawyer in your corner.
At JSB Law PC, we provide aggressive DUI defense. We understand a conviction can have long-lasting negative impacts on your life, even resulting in job loss if you are unable to get to and from work. Whether this is your first interaction with the legal system or you have prior convictions on your record, we will work hard to minimize the impact of the charge.
Defending You Against the Criminal Charge
To fight the criminal charge, we will investigate all aspects of your traffic stop and arrest. Did the police officer have probable cause to stop you? Was the breathalyzer or blood test performed properly? Did the officer violate procedures in any way? We will use this information when building your defense.
Administrative Representation
When you are arrested for DUI, your driver's license will automatically be suspended pursuant to an administrative procedure known as statutory summary suspension. While your license is suspended, you will lose your driving privileges.
We will challenge the summary suspension by requesting an administrative hearing within the allowed timeframe. We will work to have your suspension rescinded or if that is not possible help you obtain a temporary driving permit. Contact our office for swift protection of your rights.
