Driving in Illinois

When you drive on Illinois roads, you have given consent for the state to administer a breathalyzer test if you are stopped on suspicion of drunk driving (DUI). If you fail the test or refuse to take it, the Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) can suspend your driver’s license for a period of time ranging from three months to three years, depending upon a series of factors, including your blood alcohol level (BAC), your prior arrests, and your breathalyzer refusal. This civil case is called a statutory summary suspension.

Your Driver’s License is in Jeopardy

If you do not challenge the arrest, your driver’s license will be automatically suspended 46 days after your arrest. Moreover, if you are arrested for driving while your driver’s license is suspended, you will be charged with a felony and face mandatory jail time upon conviction.

Do Not Hesitate to Contact a Lawyer

If you contact our lawyers soon after your arrest, we can file a petition to rescind the statutory civil suspension. This petition will allow you to contest the issue of whether or not you were legally placed under arrest for DUI, and/or whether you had the required blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or above. If you refused the breathalyzer test, we can challenge whether you were given proper warnings by the arresting officer. If we are successful, the statutory suspension will be rescinded. Even if we are not successful in getting the statutory suspension rescinded, our lawyers will nevertheless have an opportunity to cross-examine the arresting officer. This will help us prepare your criminal DUI defense.

Retaining Some Driving Privileges

In the event your license is suspended, you will be unable to drive for at least 30 days. After this time, our lawyers can assist you in applying for a judicial driving permit, allowing you to drive to and from work, to and from school, and to and from medical facilities. Please note, that at the end of your suspension, you will have to pay a reinstatement fee for your driver’s license to the Illinois Secretary of State.

Fantastic Lawyer with Top-Legal Skills

I hired Tom Glasgow and his firm to seal some criminal cases out of Cook County. The charges were very serious, and although I was not convicted of those charges, I knew it would still be an uphill battle in court. During the two years my case was pending, Tom never wavered in his complete dedication to seeing a positive outcome for me. He has excellent legal skills and knew exactly how best to present my case to the judge. He presented the court with a detailed packet of my background and information that undermined the charges filed against me. The judge granted my petition to seal those arrest records. My family and I are grateful to Attorney Glasgow and his firm for everything they did on my behalf. Because of Tom Glasgow, what I believed was a nearly impossible feat turned into a reality for me. I highly endorse and recommend Tom Glasgow for criminal matters and sealings/expungements. Thank you, Tom!

Tom Backs It Up

I was very upset about my case and doubting my current attorney when I contacted Tom and his firm. He took time out of his day to talk me off the ledge and helped me to see things in a clearer light and from my attorney’s perspective. He spoke with me nearly 25 minutes when he didn’t have to. Additionally, he called me back FIRST thing in the morning. I did not hire Glasgow & Olsson only because of Tom’s honesty integrity and advice. However, based on this experience I wouldn’t hesitate to refer someone to them. The fact that he advised me to stick with my current attorney instead of just taking my money tells you everything you need to know about him! They are trust worthy hardworking and Tom is very sharp and I could tell from even just a short conversation he had a ton of experience from the nuanced perspective he has on things. Very impressed with Tom. I expect his colleague to be just as exceptional. You get what you pay for in attorneys…but Tom backs it up. His knowledge of judges, other attorneys, the system in general is unmatched in all the conversations I’ve had with various attorneys over the years.
