Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI) – LICENSE SUSPENSION REMOVED

The Illinois State Police Department  stopped my client for speeding. The Trooper paced my client going 65 mph in a 55 mph zone. My client submitted to field sobriety testing and failed them. The Trooper indicated that he smelled a strong odor of alcohol, slurred speech and bloodshot eyes. My client admitted that he was drinking alcohol earlier that evening.  On the scene, my client submitted to a portable breath test which revealed a .146%. He was arrested and at the station he refused the breathalyzer test. The Secretary of State tried to suspend my client’s driver’s license for one (1) year because he refused to submit to breath testing at station. I requested a hearing and my petition was granted. The judge ordered that my client’s license should be reinstated!
