Illinois DUI Issues

By now, most Illinois residents should be aware that Illinois DUI laws are complex and a conviction can have significant effects on a person’s day-to-day life. Illinois has adopted enhanced penalties for certain types of offenses, including mandatory jail sentences and the possible result of having your vehicle forfeited to the state. Illinois law prevents a person from receiving court supervision if the person has, at anytime in his or her life, previously received court supervision for DUI.

Simply stated, absolutely any charge of driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, an illegal substance or prescription medication is a very serious charge. If you or a family member has been arrested for DUI at any level, you should consult an experienced lawyer as soon as you possibly can.
