Drunk Driving and DUI/DWI Defense Attorneys
Wheaton and Rolling Meadows, Illinois
Do not let a DUI conviction ruin your life. The Illinois legislature continues to add penalty after penalty to Illinois drunk driving law, and there are many ways that they can hurt you without you even being aware.
At Brucar & Yetter, we offer our experience and skill to each of our clients. No DUI is a "small case" to us, because even a first-time DUI can be a felony. In the last year alone, our defense attorneys have fought more DUIs than most lawyers will in a lifetime. Do not put your driving and your freedom at risk: Contact Brucar & Yetter today.
You Need Strong and Aggressive DUI/DWI Defense
First, DUIs are very expensive - fines for a drunk driving conviction in Illinois can be $5000 or more. Second, you are facing the possibility of jail time, community service, and counseling. The defense lawyers at Brucar & Yetter have fought many DUI cases and won - we are ready to be the experienced and skilled litigators you need fighting for you.
Also, many new drunk driving laws affect even a first-time DUI defendant's ability to get supervision and keep his or her license. If you have two speeding tickets in a year, you may not be eligible. Breathalyzer results of .16 or more usually require careful handling as state's attorneys are routinely fighting to convict people who have clean driving histories. All of these things must be taken into consideration when dealing with a drunk driving charge in Illinois now.
It is easy for lawyers to say it is no big deal and recommend supervision. We will not do that to you. We fully investigate all litigation possibilities for every DUI before making a recommendation. We want our clients to know they are getting the best advice, not simply settling because it is easier for the lawyer.
Automatic Driver's License Suspension
You should call a drunk driving defense lawyer as soon as possible if you have been arrested on a drunk driving (DUI/DWI) charge. In the state of Illinois, your license will be suspended on the 46th day after your arrest if you sit back and do nothing.
We will help you request a hearing to prevent you from having your license suspended. The earlier you have us file the paperwork for a hearing, the better your position you will be in to fight your license suspension.
If your license is suspended, we can help you secure a judicial driving permit which would allow you to drive to work, school, and health care facilities. Or if you have a particular hardship, such as taking care of your child's special health care needs, you may also be able to obtain a permit.
Contact a DUI/DWI defense attorney today to schedule a free initial consultation. For your convenience, night and weekend office hours are available and appointments may be arranged. We are available 24 hours a day.
