Arlington Heights Second DUI Offense Lawyer

Steps to Take After Multiple DUI Charges in Arlington Heights, IL

At Cosley Law Office, our Arlington Heights DUI defense attorney represents clients accused of repeat drunk driving offenses. If this is your second DUI offense and you refuse to take the blood, urine, or breath test, you will have your driver's license suspended for three years. While you may be able to continue driving by having a breath-alcohol ignition interlock device (BAIID) installed on your vehicle, the impact to your life can still be quite serious.

No matter what type of DUI offense you are arrested for, a second DUI offense charge is a serious criminal matter that strongly affects your driving privileges. Also, if you are convicted of DUI second offense, you will be charged with a Class A Misdemeanor; you will need to serve mandatory time in prison for five days or complete 240 hours of community service. If this is your second DUI conviction within 20 years, your driving privileges will be revoked for a minimum of five years. Your only option to remain on the road would be to apply for a restricted driving permit with use of a BAIID.

Additional fines and penalties are tacked on when your BAC levels is .16 or more, or if you were involved in a fatal car crash, resulting in injury or bodily harm to a child under the age of 16.

Our law firm aggressively works to defend your second DUI offense case in order to avoid conviction. We know the severity of the situation and can help reduce the penalties involved.
