There are few circumstances in life that are as frightening as being a defendant in a criminal case. A person charged with a crime must overcome damage to their reputation, stress on their career and family life, and the full resources and power of the government agency responsible for prosecuting the case against them.

According to the most recent data, Illinois police make approximately 46,000 DUI arrests per year. It is further estimated that 92% of those arrested for DUI lose their driving privileges as a result of the arrest. For DUI cases involving aggravating circumstances or repeat offenders, the penalties are even more severe and may include license revocation, a felony conviction, or even a jail or prison sentence.

A DUI is not the only traffic related offense that can cost you your driver's license. Illinois law provides for the suspension or revocation of a motorist's driving privileges under an extremely wide variety of circumstances, and the list of suspension- triggering offenses is not likely to get any shorter.
