A DUI Doesn’t Have To Slow You Down

Getting pulled over and arrested for a DUI is a classic example of a simple mistake that can change your life. But it doesn’t have to.

With the right help, a DUI charge doesn’t have to affect your future. You can leave these charges behind you.

What Are The Consequences?

While a DUI might seem like a relatively simple or harmless criminal charge to some, many don’t understand the consequences of being convicted. A DUI charge can lead to one, if not more of the following in Illinois and McLean County:

  • License suspension from three months all the way up to 10 years.
  • Mandatory alcohol education or treatment.
  • Installation of an ignition interlock device on your vehicle.
  • Up to a year in jail, or longer if this is a second or subsequent offense.
  • Up to a $2,500 fine, or more if this is a second or subsequent offense.
  • Loss of opportunities for students, including loss of scholarships and access to student aid, loans and grants.

I can help you fully understand what you’re up against. Schedule a consultation with me and I can tell you just what to expect. I can also help you craft a defense that can help you avoid some or even all of the above consequences.

Do I Need An Attorney?

A criminal charge of any kind can follow you around for the rest of your life. Even a seemingly minor charge like a DUI can have a lasting effect on you, from limiting job prospects, to affecting your insurance rates.

In all cases, when facing a criminal charge, you need to consult with a criminal defense attorney. An attorney like me can help you mitigate or even avoid charges. In some cases, I may be able to prevent your case from going to trial.

I spent the first three years of my criminal defense career in the traffic courtrooms of McLean County Illinois and I have a comprehensive understanding of how these systems work. I can help keep your future bright and protect your license and your livelihood.
