Why you need a top-shelf DUI Defense Attorney

Illinois leads the nation in cracking down on drunk drivers. A DUI conviction will automatically cause your driver’s license to be revoked, and depending on your criminal and driving history, you could be faced with car forfeiture and prison time. Even worse, a DUI is one of the most difficult criminal cases to defend, because it is typically based on an officer’s direct observation, bolstered in many cases by so-called “objective” chemical testing.

Therefore, you must have a qualified and experienced DUI defense attorney, who knows the ins and outs of the Illinois DUI laws and who is passionate about protecting your license.
