The leaves are changing, the summer heat has left the area and there are numerous festivals that are taking place every weekend. Fall is a wonderful time of year………….

It is an easy decision to attend a festival, have a few beers and think you’re fine to drive home because you haven’t had a beer in a few hours and you have been enjoying food at the festival all day.

The Illinois Secretary of State has stated that the average DUI offender is:

-male (77% of arrests)

-age 34

-arrested between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. on a weekend

-Blood-alcohol content (BAC)- .16

A conviction for even one DUI in the state of IL can have horrible consequences. Some of which include revocation of your driving privileges, time in jail, suspension of your vehicle registration as well as a hefty fine.

If you are charged with DUI you need to contact an attorney that will sit down with you, explain the complicated DUI laws in IL and discuss your case in its entirety. Call and ask for attorney Zach Pashea at the Law Office of Keith Short, P.C. to schedule a free consultation. 618-254-0055
