DUI – LICENSE SUSPENSION REMOVED

Client was charged with 1st DUI. A Skokie Police Officer approached her after he saw the vehicle on top of a curb. She had a strong odor of alcohol on her breath, bloodshot and watery eyes. The client failed all field sobriety tests. The police officer had her submit to a portable breath test which resulted in a .256% blow. The client was arrested and taken to the Skokie Police Station for processing. At the police station she blew into another breathalyzer. The result was a .232%  My office immediately filed the paperwork to prevent her license from being suspended for the statutory time length of six(6) months. The State of Illinois did not have a hearing within the required time of thirty (30) after I filed the paperwork. Therefore, the petition to rescind statutory summary suspension was granted automatically.
