1. Buh, Peter: Hiring an attorney who is skilled in DUI law is imperative to achieving a successful outcome. The penalties associated with a misdemeanor DUI can be staggering. A person charged with a DUI can be sentenced to jail or pay a high fine. A person charged with Felony DUI can be sent to prison. Don't delay in contacting my office to set a free consultation regarding your DUI charge.
2. Ronald Dolak: DUI and traffic offenses After being arrested for a DUI, you face many challenges and decisions. Normally, the first hurdle will be the suspension of your driving privileges for either refusing chemical testing or failing the chemical tests. The first step will be to file a petition to rescind the summary suspension. If successful, you will not have to pay a reinstate fee and you will not lose your driving privileges. If this fails, you still may be eligible for a judicial driving permit that allows you to go to and from work. Next, you must address the criminal part of a DUI. In Illinois, a DUI charge is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a maximum fine of $2500. It is very important to speak to an attorney as soon as possible to determine how to proceed.
3. Donald Tegeler: Many individuals who are arrested for DUI must make decisions while under stress. They do not understand the rules for taking, or not taking, a field sobriety test or a Breathalyzer test. Most people do not know that if they refuse a Breathalyzer test it results in an automatic six-month driver's license suspension. By the time an individual calls a DUI lawyer, they have already been charged with DUI and significant damage has been done. If found guilty of DUI, the impact of losing a driver's license often has a domino effect. The client is not longer able to drive which often leads to other violations of the law.
4. Sandra Byrd: DWI/DUI means "driving while intoxicated" or "driving while under the influence" and refers to the crime of drunk driving. This crime usually includes driving while abusing drugs and the operation of other kinds of motorized vehicles, such as boats. Drunk driving is defined by each state's criminal code.
5. Van Der Snick Law Firm: You could be facing the loss of your license, fines and court costs, alcohol treatment, the loss of your vehicle, and even jail time. You must have the advice of an attorney that understands these potential consequences and knows how to minimize them.
