Possible Penalties for Lake County DUI Cases

Illinois DUI ( Drunk Driving ), at its least severe, is a class A misdemeanor punishable by up to $2500 in fines, and up to 364 days in jail. Typical fines and costs for a first offender in Lake County amount to around $2000.00. In some cases, felony criminal charges may apply. Conviction automatically revokes your Illinois drivers license. Revocation means permanent loss of privileges until the Secretary of State of Illinois decides otherwise. In most cases, a DUI arrest results in a summary drivers license suspension for a minimum of three months, up to as many as three years.

What to Do When Stopped for DUI

Always be respectful to police officers. They will attempt to use attitude, yours or theirs, to open your mouth and get you to make statements which can be used against you to prove DUI in court. That's their JOB, and they are skilled! Let your Lake county lawyer do the talking later . . . (continued)
