Belleville Drunk Driving Defense Lawyer
Arrested for DWI? Don't assume you have no defense.
- Did the police have cause to stop your car? They can't stop you unless there is a good reason.
- Was the breathalyzer test properly administered? Was the equipment properly calibrated? Breathalyzers can be wrong - their results can be challenged in court.
- Field sobriety tests are notoriously unreliable and people fail them for lots of reasons.
At the Hampton Law Office, we defend people facing DUI and underage drinking charges in Illinois. Whether it's your first offense, or you have previous DUI convictions, attorney Polly Hampton's aggressive defense can benefit your case. Contact our Belleville law office for a free consultation. Learn more about how we can protect your rights.
In addition to defending you on the criminal charges for a DUI, we will also represent you before the Illinois Secretary of State. The Secretary of State suspends your driver's license forty-six days after you are charged with DUI. We will represent you at a hearing to challenge this suspension and assist you in getting a permit to drive while your case is pending. At Hampton Law, we do not charge an additional fee to fight to keep your license. This representation is included in your fee if you're facing your first offense.
Traffic Violations
We also defend people facing problems with their license or insurance because of traffic violations, including:
- Speeding or racing
- Driving on a suspended or revoked license
- Driving without insurance
- Reckless driving
- Failure to yield to a school bus, emergency vehicle or the police
- Illegal transportation of alcohol
- Underage drinking or violations of Illinois's zero tolerance policy for people under age 21
- Commercial drivers' license (CDL) violations
- Any other moving violations
If a traffic ticket is going to hurt your driving record or damage your ability to get or keep a commercial drivers' license, get experienced legal help. Fight that ticket!
