1. Doyle, Lehman & Patel: A DUI arrest is not the kind of criminal offense where you can pay a fine, accept an increase in your insurance premiums, and get on with your life. Drunk driving is a criminal charge that police and prosecutors are cracking down on. The possible penalties, even for a first offense, can be extreme. If you have been arrested for DUI, you should seek immediate help from aggressive and experienced DUI defense lawyers. Depending on the circumstances of your case, your attorney may be able to help you avoid some of the more drastic criminal penalties. Penalties for a DUI in Illinois vary depending upon the circumstances, the arrest and conviction, including the age of the driver, the driver's BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) level, whether children were being transported and whether the driver has previous DUI convictions. In fact, an individual who has had prior DUI convictions may face mandatory jail time. In some instances, depending on the individuals' record, convictions for DUI can result in a felony conviction resulting in potential prison time in the Department of Corrections. Defending DUI cases require significant criminal defense experience. The case may not only have an impact on one's ability to drive in the future with a valid license, but also other penalties that could be much more serious. It is very important for an individual facing a DUI to have an extremely experienced and qualified attorney in representing them in these very serious matters.
