What you need to know about your DUI now!

When you are arrested for DUI in Illinois, the Secretary of State immediately suspends your driver’s license. The suspension starts on the 46th day after the day you were arrested–automatically. If this is your first DUI arrest, and you blew over .08 on the breathalyzer, your license will be suspended for 6 months. If this is your first DUI arrest and you refused to take the breathalyzer, your license will be suspended for 12 months. If you are caught driving during this suspension, it is a crime which carries a minimum 10 day jail sentence upon conviction.

However, you may challenge the suspension! But it is important that you have a lawyer who is intimately familiar with the Illinois suspension laws and knows how to maximize your chances of defeating the suspension. You can increase your chances of defeating the suspension by starting your challenge as soon as possible—and you need an experienced, aggressive DUI attorney that can navigate these complex suspension laws and protect you from suspension.

A DUI arrest can be a stressful, expensive and traumatic experience. It can leave you feeling confused, frightened and unsure. And if you are reading this now, you probably understand this all too well. At Erickson & Oppenheimer, Ltd., we understand it too and work tirelessly to make sure that you fully understand your rights, the process and what to expect.
