When you are up against the serious charges of a DUI, you need a
Lake County DUI defense attorney who will represent you just as
seriously.
There are some very harsh DUI penalties in the state of Illinois. A
first DUI offense can result in $2500 in fines, 1 year or more suspended
license, suspended vehicle registration and up to a year of
imprisonment. Added DUI charges for a BAC of 0.16%, transporting a
child under the age of 16 or a car accident involving injury can greatly
increase these penalties for a first offense. Penalties become
increasingly harsher for multiple DUI convictions. A third or higher
DUI offense results in felony DUI charges. Felony DUI can have prison
sentences for 15 years or more, $25,000 in fines and revoked license for
life. How a Lake County DUI Lawyer Can Help
Even a misdemeanor DUI conviction can negatively impact your life and
cause great financial burden. A Lake County DUI defense attorney may be
able to get the charges against you dropped by scrutinizing every piece
of evidence against you including police reports and results of any
blood tests, breathalyzer or field sobriety test used. Attorney
Bernardo may be able to prove that there were deviations from standard
DUI arrest procedure, that equipment was not properly used or calibrated
or that there were pre-existing physical circumstances making a field
test unreliable. He provides representation for DUI trials and formal
Secretary of State Hearings. An attorney may also be able to help you
get your driver's license suspension revised in the case that you are
eligible for a Monitoring Device Driving Permit (MDDP) requiring the
installation of a breath alcohol ignition interlock device (BAIID).
There is hope of beating your DUI charges.
