DUI and Drunk Driving Defense in Carpentersville
The DUI laws of the state of Illinois are constantly changing and involve many technical issues. Understanding precisely how officers make DUI arrests, the process they must follow and how evidence can be collected can play an important role in determining the difference between heavy fines, a suspended license or jail time, and having charges reduced or thrown out.
At the DUI defense law office of Peter Buh I make it a priority to stay current on the developments in DUI laws. I explore every option when representing people in a DUI case, including thoroughly examining police officer conduct, seeking diversionary programs and arguing issues in court.
A DUI Attorney Who Will Work With You
Over the more than 17 in the criminal justice system, I have represented vacationers to the Chicago-land area, first time DUI offenders, individuals who have been previously convicted of a DUI, juveniles and clients accused of driving under the influence of prescription medication or narcotics.
I explore every option for you, including:
Examining the validity of the stop
Questioning whether the officer established impairment
Reviewing evidence and paperwork closely
Seeking diversionary programs for treatment or education
Reviewing videos of the traffic stop and arrest
Negotiating for reduced charges with the prosecution
When you have been charged with a DUI, you may face automatic license suspension, and for visitors to our state, that can translate into suspension of your license in your home state. I work with clients in both the administrative and criminal phases of a DUI case, and work hard to reduce penalties and restore your driving privileges.
More Than 18 years of Experience
I have been handling criminal cases in Illinois for more than 18 years, and that kind of experience provides insight into how to be effective for my clients. For Carpentersville DUI defense, contact my office and schedule your free initial consultation. I am your Carpentersville DUI Attorney.

Prosecutor fired for DUI in Illinois
Former Assistant State's Attorney Thomas H. Nevins was at work the day he was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence.
Nevins was fired by State's Attorney Thomas Gibbons this week.
"At this time, we have no information to suggest he was he drinking while performing his duties as a felony prosecutor," according to spokesperson for the Madison County State's Attorney's Office.
Nevins was stopped by Edwardsville police on Thursday in the 200 block of Conventry Place after they received complaints that a 2010 black Subaru Outback was driving across the center line. In the law enforcement sworn statement, police stated that Nevins smelled strongly of alcohol, had glazed eyes, appeared disoriented and admitted drinking and was unsteady on his feet. For further information, contact your Warren County DUI Attorney.

No refusal weekend in Kane County
Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon is holding another “no refusal” holiday weekend to combat drunk driving.
According to a press release issued this week, his office will collaborate with multiple Kane County municipalities to crack down on impaired drivers on New Year’s Eve.
The sixth “No Refusal” operation conducted in Kane County will be the first by McMahon and the first in the county on New Year’s Eve. It also will follow U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood’s call for more states to use the strategy to help diminish drunken driving.
“Drunken driving is an unnecessary hazard on our roadways that often ends with tragic results,” McMahon said in the press release. “As state’s attorney, I have a responsibility not only to prosecute DUI offenders, but also to educate the public not to drive when they drink.
“Publicity of past no-refusal operations has been successful in reducing the number of drunken drivers on our roadways, and it is my hope that we can continue to get would-be DUI offenders to think twice before driving.
“With that in mind, I am only announcing when we will have the no-refusal operation. I will not say which municipalities will be working with us. For further information, contact your Kane County DUI Attorney.
