Protecting Your Right to be on the Road
For Illinois drivers, the state defines "intoxication" as having a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 percent or higher. With such a BAC reading, no other proof is necessary for a police officer to arrest you for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, a criminal offense. You have the right to refuse to incriminate yourself through a Breathalyzer or other test. Exercise your right by hiring a skilled criminal defense attorney.
My name is Peter Buh, and I have spent my entire legal career handling criminal law cases, including those involving drunk driving. I represent clients throughout Kane County and the western communities of Chicago who have been stopped for alleged drunk driving. I believe in giving you the truth about your situation, and using my trial skills to help you keep your driving privileges.
Defending Your Right to Freedom
Like in most other states, Illinois drivers are subject to "implied consent" laws, which refer to your agreement to submit to a Breathalyzer, blood or urine test if a police officer suspects you of DUI. While refusing to do so carries mandatory penalties such as extended driver's license suspension, your BAC is the number one indicator prosecutors need to obtain a DUI conviction.
When you hire me, we can combat your charges by verifying your paperwork and thoroughly investigating the circumstances of your arrest. There are many reasons a case could be dismissed, including:
- There was no probable cause for your arrest.
- You were not read your rights.
- The police officer did not properly conduct your arrest.
- You actually did submit to a test but it was misfiled or information was misconstrued.
- You were not the driver or in actual physical control of the vehicle.
Almost everyone has had a few drinks before, including the judge or jury. Together, we can develop a strategy that works toward the best possible outcome for your situation.
