Chicago Criminal Lawyer Blog
A traffic stop can go from routine to life-changing in a matter of minutes—especially if you live with diabetes or another condition that causes low blood sugar. Every day in Chicago and throughout Illinois, drivers are misjudged by police officers who mistake symptoms of hypoglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) for intoxication. For those individuals, the experience is not just frightening—it can result in wrongful arrest, license suspension, and criminal charges.
If you’re facing DUI charges after experiencing a diabetic episode, the most important thing you can do is consult a lawyer who understands how medical conditions intersect with Illinois DUI law. At The Law Offices of David L. Freidberg, we’ve represented clients across Cook County who were charged based on faulty assumptions, not facts. We know how to dismantle these cases—and protect your freedom, your license, and your future.
