Illinois and Indiana DUI - OWI Defense Attorneys
Driving Privileges Reinstated
Flossmoor police arrested our client for DUI after attending a party. Our client failed the field sobriety test, the blood test, and breath test. The DUI defense attorneys at Wigell & Associates argued that 4-inch stiletto heels affected the sobriety test. We petitioned the court to rescind its summary driver's license suspension. Driving privileges were reinstated.

If you're facing your first DUI charge, chances are you don't know the legal process or even the consequences you could face for a first time DUI conviction. You may be unsure if a legal defense is even possible.

First Time DUI Penalties
In Illinois, a first drunk driving charge is a misdemeanor offense, punishable by:
- Up to a year in jail
- A fine of up to $2,500
- Possible driver's license suspension of up to six months (depending on whether you failed the breathalyzer test or refused it)
But the consequences don't stop there. Some insurance companies will discontinue your auto coverage; others will insure you only at a greatly increased premium. If you have a commercial driver's license, a DUI conviction could mean the end of your livelihood.
When you look at it this way, it's easy to see how important it is to have an experienced DUI defense lawyer protect your rights as soon as possible after a DUI arrest.
Don't Give Up Hope
You have only 90 days to request a license suspension hearing before the DMV, and only 45 days before your suspension goes into affect. Contact us as soon as possible to allow us to begin your first DUI defense before your license is suspended.
Our DUI defense team will not only help you fight the first-time DUI charge, we will also petition the Secretary of State's office driver's license division to remove your suspension or work to help you get a Judicial Driving Permit (a restricted permit) so you can still drive to work or school.
