What are the Penalties for DUI in Illinois?

Because driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol puts the safety of others at risk, penalties for this offense are quite severe. Prosecutors will go to great lengths in order to seek the maximum punishment for DUI cases. The exact penalties you are facing may vary depending on the facts of your case.

Penalties for a first-time DUI conviction in Illinois typically include:

  • Up to one year in jail
  • Fines up to $2,500.00
  • Driver's license suspension
  • Public service works

Repeat offenses and more serious situations can lead to steeper fines and longer periods of jail time and license suspension. If you are pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving, law enforcement will ask you to submit to a chemical test. If you refuse, your driver's license can be suspended for up to 12 months in what is called a statutory summary suspension. If you cooperate and submit to the chemical test and your blood alcohol content is at 0.08 or above, you can be charged with DUI, have your license suspended for up to six months, and the results of the test will likely be used against you during a trial.

Why Hire an Aurora DUI Attorney?

A DUI or DWI charge can be broken down into two parts: a criminal offense (DUI) and an administrative action (license suspension). An experienced attorney can help you pursue the appropriate action for each separate issue. Furthermore, DUIs and DWIs are often very complex cases, both scientifically and legally. An experienced DUI defense attorney will be able to help you navigate the process, understand your options, and prepare a strong defense for your unique case.
