DUI Defense

 

If you have been arrested for Driving Under the Influence, you need an EXPERIENCED DUI lawyer!

 

 

Don’t let not hiring an experienced Illinois drunk driving lawyer be your second mistake. A DUI or DWI conviction can have serious and lasting personal and professional consequences. The day you are arrested for an Illinois DUI, the clock starts ticking towards a statutory summary suspension of your driver’s license.  The suspension automatically takes effect on the 46th day after your arrest. You can challenge the suspension, but you only have a limited amount of time in which to do so. Your best defense is:

 

Hiring the Right DUI Attorney

 

From the beginning, the primary focus of Michael D. Risinger, P.C. was to protect the rights of people arrested and charged with a DUI in Peoria, East Peoria, Pekin, Morton and Creve Coeur, Illinois. I understand the DUI process and can often help people avoid the statutory summary suspension or obtain a Judicial Driving Permit (JDP) or a Restricted Driving Permit (RDP), often referred to as a hardship license.

 

It is important to remember that being arrested for a DUI does not mean you are guilty of driving under the influence. Since I have probably handled more DUI cases over the past several years than any other attorney in the tri-county area, I know how to protect my clients' legal and constitutional rights. In addition, because of my expertise in DUI law, I understand how to challenge the reliability of field sobriety tests, breathalyzers, blood tests, urine tests, as well as the legality (probable cause) of the initial stop.

 

If you handle your DUI on your own, or plead guilty, your driver’s license could be revoked, requiring a Secretary of State Driver’s License Reinstatement Hearing to regain your driving privileges. Even a driver’s license suspension can last froma few months to several years and require a significant reinstatement fee. Do not place yourself in a position to get the harshest penalties for a 1st offense, or the escalating consequences of a 2nd offense. Multiple drinking and driving convictions can involve jail time or prison time and put a felony on your record that can prevent you from holding certain jobs.
