Traffic Offenses/DUI
We can represent you in traffic court for speeding tickets and other traffic violations such as reckless driving, driving while suspended and more.
Defending Your Privilege To Drive
Driving may be your only option to get to school or work. A DUI defense license reinstatement hardship hearing may be scheduled and having an experienced attorney there will make all the difference. There are new drunk driving laws in Illinois and many ways you can get a DUI. If you smoked marijuana even as long as two weeks ago, it can affect your urine test. There is what’s known as the hangover DUI, in which you drank too much the night before, then woke up the next morning to go home or to work and got pulled over. And if a traffic officer pulls you over for, say, a burned-out taillight and smells an odor of alcohol, he or she can do a field sobriety test. In any event, if you have been charged with DUI, your best chances will be with an experienced DUI defense attorney.
All alcohol-related charges can lead to license suspension or perhaps suspension with a monitoring device driving permit (MDDP). This permit will allow you to drive during your suspension if you install a breath alcohol ignition interlock device (BAIID) in your vehicle.

Helping You Reinstate Your Driver’s License
