You need to obtain the evaluation before being allowed to receive a Judicial Driving Permit. You are only allowed a Judicial Driving Permit if you are a first time offender. There are actually only a few attorney's in our area who have even tried a DUI before a jury, and since I'm among that group, I have to tell you that it is a different sort of trial than a Felony, as the Jury, generally, is more harsh to the Drunk Driver, than they are to the common thief. Special interest groups have publicly lobbied about the dangers of drunk driving and politicians have responded by implementing harsh penalties for DUI offenders. Therefore, a strong, aggressive defense is a necessity.
Repeat offenses carry more serious consequences.
DUI is a serious crime. Illinois has some of the toughest DUI laws. Upon an arrest for DUI the State will seek a suspension of your driving privileges. The police have the power and resources of the state on their side, you need someone on your side who is knowledgeable and willing to represent your interests. The largest concern in any DUI case is the preservation of your driving privileges.
