What not to say when your pulled over for DUI

DUI, Police, Traffic Stop, UncategorizedBy Michael J. YoungJuly 9, 2013

According to Komonews.com, Omar Medina, age 26, was pulled over because the police thought he might be a drunk driver. When the police asked for his driver’s license, he allegedly responded by offering the police officer a can of beer. Not a good start. This is an extreme story of what not to do. However,…

3 Year Statutory Summary Suspension Prevented

Court, DUI, Suspended License, Trial, UncategorizedBy Michael J. YoungJune 26, 2013

Last Monday I appeared on a DUI case I am working on at the Daley Center.  My client has a 3-year Statutory Summary Suspension pending and I was able to position the case so the 3-year Statutory Summary Suspension does not take effect. This was possible because we “beat the confirmation” from the Illinois Secretary…

DUI, Legal Advice, Traffic Stop, UncategorizedBy Michael J. YoungMay 18, 2013

If you are arrested for a DUI or other criminal offense the police tow your vehicle. In order to have your vehicle released you have to pay an “impound” fee. This fee is nothing short of a ransom. The City of Chicago impound fees are the most outrageous of the municipals. For example, the DUI…

If an officer suspects that you may be driving under the influence of alcohol he will ask you to perform Field Sobriety Tests and submit to a breath testing.  Should you perform these test?  The short simple answer is NO. I base my answer on the following: 1.  The officer needs you to perform the…

In Illinois a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) offense can be charged as either a felony DUI or misdemeanor DUI.
