Illinois Warren County DUI Attorney and your Driver's License
A statutory summary suspension provides for the automatic suspension of driving privileges of a driver arrested for DUI who fails, refuses to submit to, or fails to complete chemical testing. Failure of chemical testing means a person’s BAC was .08 or more or the test showed a trace of other drugs. Statutory summary suspensions are automatic, effective on the 46th day from the date of the suspension notice. This suspension does not replace criminal penalties for a DUI conviction. An offender may request a judicial hearing to challenge the arrest; however, the request does not stop the suspension from taking effect. If an Illinois driver refuses to submit to chemical testing in another state, his/her driving privileges will be suspended. A statutory summary suspension does not apply to a person with a BAC of less than .08. If a person has a BAC of more than .05, and additional evidence such as an open container warrants a DUI arrest, the outcome of the court case will determine if penalties apply. If a commercial driver’s license holder receives a statutory summary suspension, his/her CDL privileges will be disqualified for one. For further information, contact your Warren County DUI Attorney or your local DUI Attorney.

Illinois Warren County DUI Attorney
Warren County, Illinois has reported to the Secretary of State’s Office 110 DUI arrests, however, there is a continuing the need for Warren County DUI Attorneys to educate and protect clients from the one-sided affair that is purely in the corner of law enforcement at the time of a DUI arrest.
In Warren County, each arrest brings the likelihood of individuals subjected to field sobriety testing and asked to give samples of their blood, urine or breath to determine alcohol levels. That gives Warren County DUI Attorneys plenty of opportunities annually to challenge the arrests and the government’s case.
If you have received a Warren County DUI arrest this year, it is important that a local Warren County DUI Attorney is hired to represent you. A local DUI Attorney understands the process locally, including; having a strong understanding of working with the Circuit Clerk’s Office, the State’s Attorney’s Office and the judges that hear the cases.
This is important because a Warren County DUI Attorney is also quite knowledgeable of the strengths and various weaknesses of local law enforcement personnel as well as those of the State’s Attorney’s Office, having knowledge of their individual personalities and attributes.
Penalties are numerous for DUI and include a $2500 fine, community service, a possible jail term of up to a year and suspension of driving privileges. A driver arrested for DUI may request a judicial hearing to challenge a statutory summary suspension within 90 days after the notice date. The hearing must be conducted within 30 days of the request or on the first court date scheduled to consider the criminal charges.
Legally, only four issues may be considered to throw out a suspension and those include: 1. Whether the person was properly arrested; 2. Whether there were reasonable grounds to believe at the time of arrest that the person was driving or in physical control of the vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs; 3. Whether the driver, after being informed of the impending summary suspension, refused to submit to chemical testing; and 4. Whether, after being advised of the suspension, the driver submitted to chemical testing that showed a BAC of .08 or more or any trace of cannabis, controlled substance, methamphetamine and/or intoxicating compounds. For information regarding other legal services, contact your Local Attorney for further information.
