4. Hoffman, Stephen: DUI Offenses are Treated Very Seriously in Illinois! As of January 1, 2009, the laws in Illinois became among the toughest in the country as far as driving under the influence. Many have read briefly the summary in the newspaper of the ÒnewÓ DUI laws. Few people realize just how stringent they are and how draconian some of the penalties can be. Even if you are ÒonlyÓ a first-time offender, you can rack up fines and costs well in excess of $3,000, without even including the cost of a lawyer! In fact, it is now nearly impossible to walk away from a first offense, plead guilty, receive Court Supervision and go about your life as it was before. Now, the first offense of DUI to which you are convicted of or plead guilty is a Class A Misdemeanor, which means up to a year in jail and up to a $2,500 fine. This does not take into account courtroom fees, a DUI tech fee of $500.00, or other charges, or the cost of a lawyer. You will also lose all driving privileges for a minimum of three (3) months. But it gets even worse! Now, even for a first offense it is now mandatory that you have a BAIID (Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device) installed in your car, once you are eligible to drive again (usually three months for a first-time offender). Not only will your vehicle not start if there is alcohol in your system, this system costs money to install and maintain, which you are required by law to pay. Oh, this offense cannot be expunged (erased legally) from your criminal record and your automobile insurance rates are certain to increase. There shouldnÕt be a need for any more incentive not to drink and drive!
5. Macey & Stearns: DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI / DWI) Driving Under the Influence (DUI), also known as Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) is a very serious charge which can cost you your driver's license, increased insurance rates, thousands of dollars in legal fees and even jail time. A conviction for DUI / DWI will drastically affect the rest of your life. Anyone who has too much to drink, or uses impairing drugs, and gets behind the wheel of a car can be arrested and charged with a DUI / DWI.

6. Bernardi, Natalie: Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol is a serious offense in Illinois. Both criminal and civil penalties for Drunk Driving can be harsh. They can include large fines, jail or prison time, substance abuse treatment, the loss or suspension of a license, community service, a criminal record, and in some cases restitution. If you have been charged with DUI it is in your best interest to review your options and rights as soon as possible with an experienced drunk driving attorney. DUI law is extremely complex in Illinois and the guidance of a knowledgeable and skilled attorney can make a huge difference in the court experience and in the outcome of your case. You need a lawyer that is up to date on current laws and how they affect each case. There are many ways that a DUI charge may be challenged. Your DUI Arrest may be challenged if the officer did not have probable cause to arrest you. If you were not given your Miranda Warnings, we could move to suppress evidence that was gathered in violation of your Miranda rights. You may challenge the accuracy of the prosecutions blood alcohol testing by questioning the maintenance and functionality of the breathalyzers, or contest the procedures used in obtaining, labeling, sealing, storing and offering the evidence into trial. Most DUI Cases rely largely on the testimony of the arresting officer. We may challenge the accuracy of the arresting officer's observation of the performance of the field sobriety tests and other aspects of your arrest.
7. Johnson Law Group: One of the most important privileges to hold is the privilege to drive. We drive to work, to church, to school and to the park. It is an important part of our freedom. Sometimes, however, accidents, mistakes and bad decisions can lead to that freedom being taken away. Losing your driving privileges and going to jail can be the results of driving offenses. Some minor driving offenses do not require you to hire an attorney. Many, however, are serious. Driving while revoked or suspended could lead to losing driving privileges for years, and even jail time. This could affect your work and family life. DUI / DWI arrests are of course, very serious, and prosecutors are treating the crime more harshly all the time. At the same time, legislatures are lowering the legal drinking and driving limits, and passing stiffer sentencing laws. If you refuse to be tested for blood alcohol concentration, you could be charged with an additional crime. Hit and run accidents can result in a lost license and jail time. Vehicular manslaughter could lead to a long prison term. All of these charges are a severe threat to your freedom - both your freedom to drive and your personal freedom from jail
