Other Impacts
What many people do not realize is that there are more consequences to conviction than just the penalties imposed by the judge. With a DUI conviction on your record, you may be prohibited from applying for or holding certain jobs, especially if the position requires a driver’s license. In addition to the employment consequences, you must also contend with the humiliation of having a DUI conviction on their record. Increased car insurance premiums are another negative consequence of a DUI conviction, as the rates you are required to pay may rise significantly.
These consequences are in addition to such legal penalties as driver license suspension and revocation, thousands of dollars in fines, many hours of community service, mandatory DUI school and treatment, possible time in jail or prison, and the installation of a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) in the vehicle.
Choose Knowledgeable Representation
Illinois drunk driving law is complex, and your defense should be handled by an experienced attorney. While the law is consistent throughout the state of Illinois, each county court may have different rules for case procedures. A case in Chicago or Cook County will proceed differently than a DUI case in Lake County or DuPage County. Driver’s license suspensions are also handled differently. Missing the subtle differences can mean missing opportunities to protect you and your driver’s license. Your attorney must be aware of these details, because not knowing is detrimental to the outcome of your case.
