Rockford
- Brian Morgan:
Are you charged with a crime? Do you know the possible repercussions to a guilty plea to a simple speeding ticket? The possible repercussions to a guilty plea multiply as the seriousness of the crime increases.
- Sreenan & Cain:
A driving under the influence charge is one of the most common
forms of criminal liability. Further, these types of charges
involve one of the most technically complex areas in criminal law.
When a person finds themselves facing a DUI charge, the worst
thing they can do is hire the attorney who will represent them for
the lowest fee. Hiring an experienced attorney with extensive
experience in all the details of DUI law can be the difference
between a successful defense and a conviction, or worse. A DUI can
be successfully challenged and defeated with experienced legal
counsel. Mere allegations alone are insufficient to support
successful prosecution. Rather, the prosecution must prove an
individual was impaired at the time of driving. A person may be
asked to submit to a blood alcohol test or field sobriety test, and
answer a variety of questions about their drinking. Although many
people are unaware of their rights at a traffic stop, they have the
right to refuse to submit to a chemical test, field sobriety test
or to answer most questions. However, the refusal to submit to
chemical tests may lead to the loss of driving privileges for six
months or longer depending on prior convictions.
Rock Island - William Schick:
An individual charged with a criminal offense needs to carefully
consider what to do next. If someone is charged with a crime and
does not know what his rights are, he may not be able to fully
protect themselves. Taking the right step can make a difference in
the rest of someone's life. The right information is necessary,
and the right representation is crucial.
It is important to have an experienced and knowledgeable attorney who
will fight to protect an individual's rights in any criminal
proceeding. William Gerald Schick is an experienced criminal defense
attorney who knows what those rights are. If chosen as your attorney,
he will fight to protect your rights under the law.
Rolling Hills
- Donald
Cosley:
Moving violations can affect your ability to drive, interfering
with your ability to earn a living. Your insurance premiums can
also be impacted when you receive a citation.
Round Lake Beach
- Michael Caithamer:
With the State Legislation lowering the BAC limit to .08, Lake
County has become one of the largest counties in DUI arrest
each year. Many villages specifically target their police
department to crack down on DUI violators. The only way to beat
a DUI is with proper legal representation.
Schaumberg
- Gregory Ellis:
The police make mistakes. They presume everyone is guilty until proven otherwise. The police regularly write questionable DUI tickets just to let the judge sort it out. Field sobriety tests are notoriously unreliable. The National Highway Traffic Safety administration has found only a 65% to 77% accuracy rate for field tests. Clearly a large number of arrests based on these flawed tests are illegitimate. These test results can be thrown out in court.
- Roberta Kanabay:
It is important that you preserve your rights while protecting your
reputation, regardless of the seriousness of the offense.
- Norris &
Callahan:
The crime of drunk driving is generally defined in two ways: (1)
having a blood alcohol content above the limit set by law, or (2)
driving under the influence of alcohol.
- Warren Breslin:
DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS" CASES have become
increasingly more sophisticated for both prosecution and defense.
Most police cars and interrogation rooms are equipped with video
cameras that capture both visual and audio events of the arrest.
Proper defense of your case requires your attorney to subpoena
video and audio recordings from the arresting agency before the
tapes are recycled for later usage. Gathering reports, breathalyzer
or lab records, and all other evidentiary material in a timely
manner is essential to a successful defense. And if you have been
charged with a DUI out of state, you should retain Illinois counsel
to confer with your out of state lawyer to help protect your
Illinois license from any reciprocal suspension or revocation.
- Tracy, Sturm & Associates:

particularly when a driver is accused of driving under the
influence. A conviction on DUI/DWI charges may result in fines, the
revocation or suspension of your driver's license, and possible
jail time. In addition, your insurance company may increase your
rates to an unmanageable level. In defending against an impaired
driving charge, you have many rights as a criminal defendant,
including the right to cross-examine the witnesses against you,
even if they are police officers. An experienced attorney can make
all the difference in such a difficult case.
