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

The Mt. Prospect Police stopped my client for an expired vehicle sticker. They smelled a strong odor of alcohol, slurred speech and bloodshot eyes. My client admitted that she was drinking earlier that evening. She complied with the officer’s request to do “field sobriety” tests which she failed. My client then blew a .148% in the officer’s portable breath test (PBT). The officer then arrested my client for DUI. At the Mt. Prospect Police Department she blew a .119% in the breathalyzer. The Secretary of State tried to suspend my client’s driver’s license for six (6) months because she blew over a .08%. I requested a hearing and argued in front of the judge. I convinced the judge that the breathalyzer at the police station was unreliable and inaccurate. The judge ordered that my client’s license should be reinstated!
