You've just found that lawyer. I understand that you're probablyfeeling confused, angry, or somewhat fearful about what's happened to you. Theprocess of being arrested and taken to the police station was probably very dehumanizing to you. I sincerely sympathize with that. You're faced with acharge which can have serious outcomes. You could lose your license ... your insurance could go up or be cancelled ... you could even go to jail. It doesn't end there. A conviction can follow you and cause you other problems in the future. I'll Fight to Help You Keep Your License and Your Freedom There's a good chance I can help.There are many challenges that can be made tothe charges you are facing. I'll raise the applicable challenges for you so your case is as strong as possible. Anybody can plead you guilty. But in many cases thebest choice is to fight. That's the kind of case I focus on. At thevery least, I'll make sure that you're being treated fairly. You should be aware of all the defenses you have in this situation. The law requires proofthat after drinking you were not able to drive your car safely or that yourblood alcohol exceeded a certain limit. That sounds pretty cut and dried, butit's not quite as simple as that. You see, if challenged, the State also has toshow that the arresting officer made the arrest properly, that the field sobriety tests performed on you were instructed properly and scored properly, that you wereproperly advised of your rights, that the equipment he used to test you wasworking accurately, and even that the person operating that equipment wascertified to operate it. I have the knowledge and experience to challenge all of these things. I will request all of the items needed for your defense. Get The Legal Help You Need That's where I come in.

If I can figure out enough problems with the testing, that may be one of the ways to convince the prosecutorof weaknesses in the State's case. More importantly, I may be able to demonstrate to the judge that you should be found not guilty of that part of the State's case against you. I can't promise you that I'll be successfulbecause each case is unique. Maybe there aresome things distinctive to your case which are important.

DUI FACTS - ILLINOIS IN 2003 / NATIONALLY / .08 BAC SERVICES PROGRAMS PRESS PUBLICATIONS DEPARTMENTS CONTACT DUI Facts - Illinois In 2003 / Nationally / .08 BAC In Illinois in 2003: 639 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes, which was 44 percent of the 1,453 total crash fatalities. More than 49,000 DUI arrests were recorded by the Secretary of State's office. 93 percent of all drivers arrested for DUI, who were eligible, lost their driving privileges. 2,863 drivers under age 21 lost their driving privileges due to "Use It & Lose It" law violations. 17 percent of those arrested for DUI are women, who represent 50 percent of all licensed drivers. Males ages 21-24 had the highest DUI arrest rate (27.6 per 1,000 licensed drivers). This rate was four times greater than that of all other drivers arrested for DUI (6 per 1,000). 83 percent of all drivers arrested for DUI are first offenders. Nationally: Alcohol-related crash fatalities totaled 17,013 in 2003. Alcohol-related occupant fatalities increased 3 percent in SUVs and 5 percent on motorcycles in 2003. 40 percent of crashes involving an alcohol-impaired or intoxicated driver or non-occupant resulted in an involved person being killed or injured. Drivers with a BAC greater than .08 who were killed in crashes were 10 times as likely to have a prior conviction for driving while intoxicated. About 275,000 people suffered injuries in alcohol-related crashes in 2003. More than 1.5 million drivers are arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs each year. This represents one in every 130 drivers in the United States. The percentage of alcohol-related crashes in 2003 represents an average of one alcohol-related fatality every 31 minutes and one alcohol-related injury every two minutes. The rate of alcohol involvement in fatal crashes is three times as high at night as during the day. More than 53 percent of weekend evening crashes are alcohol related. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for people ages 2-33. The highest intoxication rates for drivers in fatal crashes were recorded for drivers ages 21-24 (32 percent), followed by ages 25-34 (27 percent) and 35-44 (24 percent). Alcohol-related crashes, injuries and fatalities cost society more than $45 billion in lost productivity, medical care, property damage and other direct expenditures annually. Facts about .08: Illinois .08 BAC limit was signed into law July 2, 1997. .08 is a measurement of the blood-alcohol concentration level at which drivers are considered intoxicated and, therefore, are prohibited from driving on Illinois roadways. Illinois, 48 other states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have .08 BAC per se laws. On Aug. 1, 2005, Minnesota will become the final state to enact the .08 per se law. At .08, all drivers are impaired to the point that critical driving skills are greatly diminished. Studies indicate that at a .08 BAC level, a drivers steering, braking, speed control, lane changing, gear changing and judgments of speed and distance are all significantly impaired. To reach .08, a 170-lb. male would have to consume four or more drinks in a one-hour period on an empty stomach. A 137-lb. female would have to consume three drinks in one hour to reach .08. A drink is considered a 12- oz. beer, a 5-oz. glass of wine or a cocktail containing 1.5 ounces of 80- proof liquor. At .08, a driver is three times more likely to be involved in a car crash than a sober driver, and 11 times more likely to be killed in a single-vehicle crash. Skeptics of .08 laws suggest that repeat offenders are the real problem with regard to drunk driving. However, about 80 percent of alcohol-related crash fatalities are caused by drivers with no arrests for drunk driving during the previous three years. Profile of an Illinois Drunk Driver The average DUI offender is: male (82 percent of those arrested are men) age 34 (60 percent of those arrested are under age 35) arrested between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. on a weekend caught driving with a BAC level of .16 percent Table of Contents Message | DUI | DUI Facts | Chronology of a DUI Arrest | Statutory Summary Suspension | Penalties for a DUI Conviction | Driving with a BAC of .16 or Greater | DUI with a Child in the Vehicle | Penalties for Other Alcohol-Related Offenses | Administrative License Revocations | Judicial Hearings | Driving Permits | Driver's License Reinstatement | Case Dispositions | Average Cost of a DUI Conviction | "Use It & Lose It" | Offenses Related to Underage Drinking | Secretary of State Programs | Victims Rights | Emergency Room Reporting of Injured Impaired Drivers | History of DUI Laws in Illinois | This edition of the DUI Fact Book is as accurate as possible at the time of publication.

Michigan Drunk Driving Defense Lawyer | OUIL DUI DWI OWI MIP Defense Law Attorney | Michigan's Administrative Drivers License Suspension Law Get Help Now! Greater Detroit Area " Greater Detroit Area Greater Detroit Area "Patrick T. Barone Site Navigation Return Home DUI Defenses DUI Sample Cases DUI Attorney Info DUI Resources DUI Courts Info DUI Driver License DUI Links Thank you for the fine job you did on the case and let you know I was very happy with the outcome, considering the circumstances. -D.W. Michigan's Administrative Drivers License Suspension Law The 1999 amendments to the Michigan drunk driving laws essentially removed the imposition of all license sanctions from the Circuit and District Court Judges, and placed them with the Secretary of State's Office. Licensing actions range from restrictions to outright revocations. A license revocation is of course the most serious license action the State can take, and this is defined by statute as a termination of the right to drive. Once the license is suspended, the driver may only reapply to the Department for license restoration as follows: After the expiration of one year for the first revocation After the expiration of five years for a subsequent revocation within seven years of a prior revocation. When reapplying after revocation the driver must prove by clear and convincing evidence, primarily based on documentary evidence, that he/she can be considered a safe driver. This determination is usually made by the Secretary of State after a hearing where the driver presents his/her evidence to the Hearing Officer. A restricted license allows the driver to drive to and from and during work, to and from probation, to and from any Court ordered community service and so forth. The authorized restrictions are set forth by law, and the driver must carry proof of destination. Once the restriction is over, the driver may simply apply to the Secretary of State for a new license, and of course, must also pay the reinstatement fee. It is also possible for restrictions to be "indefinite", meaning that they will not end until the driver is approved for a new license. These restrictions are uncommon, and are most often used where, for example, a driver has a medical problem that prevents him/her from safely operating a vehicle. The actual license sanctions are imposed directly by the Secretary of State when they are notified by the Court of an applicable conviction. So, after a person is sentenced for drunk driving he/she walks out of the Court with a driver license, but then is notified of the applicable license sanctions by mail. This notification also includes the dates when such restrictions (or revocation) begin and end. Return Home
