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

The Des Plaines Police Department observed my client commit two (2) separate traffic infractions. My client quickly pulled his car over and then denied driving. The officer’s in vehicle camera captured him actually driving! My client took all of the field sobriety tests requested and failed them all. I had to fight my client’s driver’s license suspension because he needed it for work and since he refused a breath test, it would have been a one (1) year suspension. During the hearing, on cross examination, I got the officer to admit that he did not follow proper protocol when warning my client of the consequences of refusing the breath test. Once that admission was made, the judge stopped me mid-sentence and granted my petition to rescind statutory summary suspension. I did not even have to finish my cross-examination before the judge removed the suspension of my client’s driving privileges!
