Experienced Legal Advocacy in the Face of Adversity
Those arrested for drunk driving offenses in DuPage County often discover too late that local authorities are quite serious about enforcing penalties for driving under the influence (DUI). Even first-time offenders could face a jail sentence of up to one year and other consequences depending on the circumstances. To protect your freedom and your lifestyle, contact a skilled criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.
If you have been arrested for DUI in Naperville, contact me, Peter Buh. I have represented people throughout northeastern Illinois for nearly 20 years. As a former prosecutor, I know what tactics to use to avoid maximum penalties and to negotiate the best possible deal for you.
Tough Defense Against Aggressive Offense
As the largest city in DuPage County, Naperville has its own municipal prosecutors who are known for being hard on DUI offenders. Minimum charges for a DUI misdemeanor can be any combination of the following:
- A minimum fine of $2,500
- Driver's license suspension for one year
- Possible jail time for up to one year
- Probation or court supervision
- Enrollment in substance abuse programs or Victim Impact programs
- Community service hours
Felony convictions include mandatory fines and jail time, among other things. Whether you're facing misdemeanor or felony DUI charges, I do what is necessary to minimize your consequences. I thoroughly investigate the evidence against you, including results from field sobriety tests, Breathalyzer tests or blood tests. I am not afraid to take your case to trial, where in some cases I can cross-examine the police officer who arrested you to determine the validity of their actions.
