Why promises about license results are misleading for DUI cases in Chicago
People across Chicago are stopped every day on suspicion of DUI. It happens on Lake Shore Drive, in River North after a night out, near Wrigley Field after a game, and on the Eisenhower heading into the city. The moment blue lights appear in the mirror, the fear starts with one thought: am I going to lose my license? By the time someone calls a Chicago DUI lawyer, the question usually comes out fast. Can you guarantee that I will keep my license?
The honest answer is no. No ethical or credible lawyer can guarantee what the Illinois Secretary of State or a judge will do in your case. License outcomes are controlled by statute, court procedure, administrative rules, and the facts of each case. A lawyer can improve the likelihood of keeping driving privileges. A lawyer cannot promise it.
