The potential consequences of an arrest for DUI demand experienced and aggressive defense. Without proper representation, you could be subject to jail time, fines, and license revocation, not to mention collateral consequences for employment, education, and other facets of your life.
Schwulst & Roseberry, P.C., provides experienced DUI defense in Bloomington-Normal and surrounding counties of central Illinois. Our law firm represents adults and underage drivers accused of driving under the influence. We also handle other traffic offenses, from driving while suspended for DUI to reckless driving or speeding. Contact us immediately to protect your rights.
You might avoid jail for a first-time DUI, but a conviction results in a mandatory 30-day hard suspension of your driver’s license. Some courts require drivers to install, at their own expense, a breath-alcohol ignition interlock device (BAIID) before their driving privileges are restored. Repeat offenses or refusal to take the breath test can result in mandatory jail time or longer license suspension. Truck drivers and under-21 drivers also face enhanced penalties.
Our criminal defense lawyers, John P. Schwulst and Todd A. Roseberry have more than 50 years of combined experience. They have defended thousands of clients, including countless DUI cases. Our legal team examines the traffic stops, field sobriety tests, Breathalyzer tests, and every facet of the state’s case. We are prepared to go to trial to help clients avoid the consequences of a conviction or to negotiate on their behalf to mitigate the costs and penalties.
The penalties for driving on a revoked license are just as serious as the underlying DUI, especially on a second or third offense. We fight serious traffic offenses that might result in criminal charges and/or license sanctions, such as:
Any moving violations can jeopardize a commercial driver’s license. Schwulst & Roseberry, P.C., frequently represents long-haul truckers cited for traffic offenses or U.S. DOT/IDOT violations while traveling through McLean County and central Illinois, such as impaired driving, distracted driving, exceeding weight restrictions, or Hours of Service violations. We will make every effort to preserve your CDL license.
We also represent travelers cited on interstates I-55, I-74, or I-39 in the Bloomington-Normal area and students of Illinois State University, Illinois Wesleyan University, or Heartland Community College charged with DUI or traffic offenses in central Illinois.
You should not take any of these matters into your own hands. You need a lawyer to dispute the allegations and protect your rights within the local court system. Call at 309-829-3636 or email us, and we will respond promptly.
We offer the first half-hour of consultation free of charge to determine if we can help you.
