Attorneys for DUI Arrests and Charges in Chicago, Illinois
Defending DUI (driving under the influence) charges in Illinois is not easy, but it is certainly not impossible. Even cases that seem helpless can be turned around with knowledgeable and aggressive criminal defense representation as early in the process as possible. In fact, there are even ways that a skilled Chicago DUI attorney can disprove evidence obtained from a breath test or blood test, or can discount a law enforcement officer’s testimony against you in regard to field sobriety testing or your behavior while driving.

Defense Strategies in Chicago DUI Cases
While one particular mistake or rights violation may not be grounds for an entire dismissal of a case, these factors can be used to weaken the prosecution’s case against the defendant and help avoid maximum penalties or perhaps a conviction altogether. For example, a careful investigation by your lawyer may show that the arresting officer did not have probable cause to pull you over in the first place, that field sobriety tests were administered improperly or that an untrained person administered your blood test. Your Chicago DUI lawyer may be able to use any of these in your favor.
