Know Your Options
If you are arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, you may feel that you have no options, especially if you consented to a breath test that revealed your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was over the legal limit of .08 percent. Before you plead guilty, however, you should first consult with a knowledgeable DUI defense attorney.
I'm Peter Buh, and I have handled DUI cases in the criminal justice system since 1991. As an Elgin DUI defense lawyer, I represent people throughout Kane County, Illinois, and the western communities of Chicago facing civil or criminal penalties for DUI. No matter the circumstances of your situation, I use my knowledge and trial skills to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
Check the Facts Before You Plead Guilty
Almost everyone, even the judge or jury, has gone out and had a few drinks. You are no different, even if your BAC was above the legal limit. I take nothing at face value and investigate questions like:
- Did the police officer have a valid reason to suspect you of drunk driving?
- Were you informed of your rights?
- Were the police officer's actions in compliance with your rights and the law?
- Were the proper procedures followed?
- Was the Breathalyzer machine properly calibrated?
- Had the testing machinery received proper maintenance checks?
- Was your blood or urine sample handled or stored in such a way as to affect the reading?
In many cases, evidence of police negligence can result in reduced charges or a dismissal of the case altogether. In addition to that, there may be other legal aspects of your DUI arrest that can be challenged. Regardless, when you hire me, I will give you my honest assessment of the case up front. If you have even the smallest chance, I will take your case as far as necessary, including going before a jury trial, to protect your freedom and your livelihood.
