Lake County DUI Lawyer
Trusted Representation for DUI Charges in Illinois
Driving while intoxicated is undoubtedly dangerous, and Illinois State Troopers and law enforcement officers are always on the lookout for drunk drivers or people who are operating a vehicle under the influence (DUI) of drugs. While police often have good intentions of keeping dangerous drivers off the road, they can become overzealous and stop, arrest and charge individuals in a wrongful manner.
Of course, each person's situation is different, and while a Lake County DUI attorney cannot guarantee an outcome to a situation, a lawyer can greatly aid in your defense. Obtaining an understanding and experienced criminal defense attorney can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.
While prosecutors will do everything in their power to ensure that you receive the highest penalties available upon conviction, working with Albert L. Wysocki can help you obtain a dismissal or decrease in the penalties that you may be facing.
