    Chicago DUI - Drunk Driving

    Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs yields harsh penalties in the state of Illinois, and can result in either a misdemeanor or felony charge. If you've been arrested for a DUI offense, you need a premier Chicago DUI attorney who is familiar with the Chicago drunk driving laws and will work to mitigate the negative outcomes that could stem for your arrest. You need the law offices of David L. Freidberg to aggressively fight for your rights.

    A first time DUI offender can face heavy consequences of up to one year license suspension, fines and even up to one year in jail. The relationships and experience working with Chicago prosecutors Mr. Freidberg has serves him well in this instance. If an individual has been charged with a misdemeanor DUI and has never been previously found guilty of a DUI offense, Mr. Freidberg can negotiate on their behalf with the prosecutor to get their drunk driving charges reduced to reckless driving, which means their driver's license will not be revoked, or even have the charges dismissed.

    As a Chicago DUI attorney, Mr. Freidberg challenges the accuracy of Chicago police procedures. Field sobriety tests and breathalyzer examinations are not foolproof methods. Mr. Freidberg will review a client's entire case to first ensure that the police had probable cause to pull them over, and will be by his client's side every step of the way moving forward.

    A misdemeanor DUI charge can be upgraded to a felony DUI charge if at the time of the arrest an individual didn't have a valid driver's license, if they knew or should have known that the vehicle they were driving was not insured or if fatal injuries resulted from their allegedly impaired driving. Drunk driving penalties increase dramatically with the number of DUI's a person has. An individual might be required to install a breath alcohol ignition device on their vehicle or wear a secure continuous remote alcohol monitor device. A felony DUI conviction also could result in a long-term prison sentence.
