Attorney Derek Martin from Driver Defense Team in Chicago, Illinois breaks down the Top 3 things you need to know if you're charged with Driving Under the Influence in Illinois.
(1) A suspension of your driver's license is probably pending. And it will go into effect 45 days after you are arrested.
(2) In the Chicago area, a DUI case will take many months to resolve. This is not like a traffic ticket where it will be resolved in one or two court dates.
(3) A lawyer can help. Not only will a good DUI lawyer help figure out your driver's license suspension and how you can drive legally, but they will also hold the prosecutor to their burden. The government must prove you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. A skilled DUI lawyer will fight the case and make sure you get the best outcome possible.
