The consequences of a felony can be significant, including the possibility of time in the department of corrections (prison). We understand the stress this can bring an individual and their loved ones. With that we understand the importance of getting the most favorable result for our clients, even if that means taking the case to trial. There is no case that is too serious for this law firm. 

Typically when an individual is arrested for DUI (IL) or OWI (WI) two things happen: 1) criminal charges are filed against the individual and;  2) The Secretary of State (IL) or Department or Transportation (WI) begins the process of suspending/revoking your driving privileges. The ability to challenge the suspension/revocation  is waived if  not challenged within a certain period of time.   

While misdemeanors do not carry the potential of time in prison, we understand the effect any arrest for any criminal offense can have on someone's employment, reputation, and family life. Many times, with the assistance of this firm, we can have these cases dismissed, deferred, or amended to an ordinance violations. This way the client's criminal background remains in good standing.

While the laws regarding expungement vary considerably from state to state, in many circumstances there is a possibility you are is eligible for expungement or sealment.  Expungement removes the offense completely from your criminal record, while sealment keeps it sealed from most employers.

Licenses typically become suspended/revoked for two main reasons: 1) cited for a DUI/OWI or; 2) too many traffic judgements/convictions. We will help navigate you through this confusing process regardless of what it takes.
