Defending Against DUI And Criminal Charges for Over 40 Years

Whether you hold an Illinois State issued driver’s license, or are merely driving on Illinois roadways, you are subject to the Illinois DUI laws. These laws include automatic consent to submit to certain tests following a stop or arrest for DUI. Some tests you may be required to perform include blood tests, urine tests, and breathalyzer tests which will indicate the level of your intoxication.

Under Illinois DUI laws, if you are arrested for drunk driving with a BAC of .08 percent or higher, your driving privileges will be suspended. An experienced attorney may be able to challenge the stop, test results, or otherwise establish you were not appropriately provided with the warnings to motorists.

Additionally, if you refuse to submit to testing after a DUI stop, your driving privileges will be suspended for six months or more depending on how many previous instances of refusal to submit to testing are on your record. If you continuously refuse to submit to testing, your driving privileges could end up permanently revoked.

If you have been issued a Monitoring Device Driving Permit, you will have to bring your vehicle to the installer every 30 days for readings. The BAIID company will then send a monthly report to the Secretary of State, where a computer will look for violations. If you are convicted of any moving violation during the MPPD period, the Secretary of State shall extend the suspension of your license for another six or 12 month period, depending on the initial suspension length.
