DUI Cases

If you have been charged with a DUI or traffic violation, you need a criminal defense lawyer. The Thomas Jackstadt Law Office can defend your rights, your driving record, and your driver's license.  A drunk driving charge must be handled quickly and diligently; in addition to defending you from the charge of driving while intoxicated or driving under the influence, you will have a driver's license suspension issue to deal with.

Illinois leads the nation in cracking down on drunk drivers.  A DUI conviction will automatically cause you driver's license to be revoked, and depending on your criminal and driving history, a DUI can result in loss of license (and job), severe fines and possible time in prison.  Even worse, a DUI is one of the most difficult criminal cases to defend, because it is typically based on an officer's direct observation, bolstered in many cases by so-called "objective" chemical testing.

Do not be pressured into pleading guilty!  A DUI conviction can affect your driving privileges, your insurance rates, and your freedom. As an attorney, I represent adults and juveniles who are charged with drunk driving. You need to move quickly in DUI cases to protect your driver's license in both the short term and the long term.
