When recommending a DUI lawyer in Illinois we first and foremost look for an attorney who focuses their practice on criminal and traffic defense and spends a significant amount of time at the courthouse where your case will be heard. This doesn’t guarantee a result, but we do believe your best chance of success is with someone who knows the law and also regularly appears before the Judge that is in charge of your case. We also consider the following traits to be important. While everyone’s situation is different – and we take that into consideration when giving you advice – we particularly value these qualifications.
- They have at least eight years of experience (usually much more) in criminal defense, as well as specific experience handling DUI cases.
- They have a track record of success in defending DUI charges.
- They know your rights and whether they have been violated. Sometimes the arresting officer makes a mistake that can result in your charges being reduced or thrown out.
- They aren’t lazy and if your case is defendable they will fight it rather than taking the easy way out.
- They understand the range of penalties associated with DUIs and can explain which ones might apply to your situation.
- They are upfront about the possibility of success in your case, and they keep you informed of every development along the way.
- They respect you and consider your best interests in every decision they make regarding your case.
- They make client communication a priority, promptly returning all phone calls and e-mails and help you make an educated decision if a plea bargain is offered.
- They quote you a fee up front, stick to that fee and fight for you no matter how long it takes.
