DUI – LICENSE SUSPENSION REMOVED

Client was speeding, went from the left lane to the right lane without signaling and finally swerved across a lane marker! When the Oak Lawn Police Department questioned him, the client admitted to drinking alcohol, had slurred speech and was swearing at the officers. The client failed all the field sobriety tests miserably! He did, however, refuse to take the breathalyzer at the Oak Lawn Police Department after he was arrested for DUI. He got notice that the secretary of state was going to suspend his driver’s license for a period of 1 year for his refusal to blow into the breathalyzer. We filed paperwork to prevent that from happening. In court, I spoke with the State’s Attorney handling his case. I convinced the prosecutor to agree to a court order removing the suspension from my client’s driver’s license. I saved him a year of suspension! Another victory for us!
