And What a Skilled Lawyer Can Do About It
Being arrested for DUI is frightening under any circumstances. But it can feel downright surreal when you haven’t had anything to drink—and still find yourself in handcuffs. This happens more often than people realize, especially in Chicago, where officers frequently rely on appearance and behavior to determine impairment. If you have a medical condition that affects your coordination, speech, or demeanor, it may be misinterpreted as intoxication. The result? You could face criminal charges that carry jail time, license suspension, and a criminal record—despite being completely sober.
At The Law Offices of David L. Freidberg, our defense attorney understands how serious this situation is. We’ve successfully defended countless clients across Cook County and throughout the Chicago area who were arrested because of how they looked or moved, not what they actually did. We fight to ensure that your medical condition isn’t used against you in a courtroom.
