DUI for Alcohol

Lewis Gainor concentrates in the specialized defense of driving under the influence of alcohol cases. He has experience in complicated misdemeanor offenses and serious felony charges involving intoxicated motorists. He has had success in DUI cases by excluding from evidence the results of breathalyzer tests used to determine a driver’s blood alcohol content (BAC). Under Illinois law, the legal limit for blood alcohol is 0.08. Without the breath test result, the prosecution’s case is hampered. Even where the breath test machine discloses a 0.08 blood alcohol level or above, Lewis Gainor has been able to win acquittals for his clients and get their DUI charges dismissed.

 

DUI for Drugs

Driving with a trace amount of cannabis or a controlled substance in blood, breath, or urine is another way in which a driver could be charged with DUI under Illinois law. Frequently, this issue comes up when a driver takes a urine or blood test after the arrest. The police often request that the driver take a urine test if they suspect marijuana or cocaine. Also, doctors and nurses at a hospital who are treating a driver for injuries after an accident will perform blood tests. Such tests can detect the use of cannabis or other controlled substances, and the results are provided to law enforcement. 

 

Aggravated DUI

Aggravated driving under the influence (DUI) is the term used to described misdemeanor DUIs where the blood alcohol content is 0.16 and greater, and felony charges where the sentence is one (1) year or more in prison. Aggravated DUI is a very serious charge, because it can result in the revocation of your driver’s license and a sentence of prison. Lewis Gainor is proud to advertise his success in defending clients charged with felony DUIs. Call today for a free opinion on your case. Lewis Gainor is one of the few lawyers to have a Class X felony DUI charge (6-30 years prison) dismissed, and to win a Class 2 felony DUI case after the jury had already found the defendant guilty.

DUI arrests result in the suspension of your driver’s license. But that suspension can be removed. The lawyer must file a petition to rescind statutory summary suspension in the circuit court. It must be filed within 90 days after the police officer provides the driver with a notice of summary suspension. It is crucially important to hire an attorney as soon as possible, because the defendant has only a short time in which to act.

 

Driving During a DUI Suspension

Illinois law changed in 2009 to allow persons arrested for DUI to drive their vehicles during the summary suspension. With the installation of a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID), a person arrested for DUI can drive as long as his blood alcohol content is lower than 0.025. The court issues this person a Monitoring Device Driving Permit (MDDP), which is effective on day number 31 of the suspension.
