Building a Strong Defense in Illinois
Few things are more frightening than unexpectedly ending up in the criminal system. Everyone who is arrested faces a variety of consequences, which may include jail time, fines, loss of driving privileges and increased insurance rates. With so much at stake, you need a lawyer who will give you an honest assessment of what you are facing and help you prepare for each step of the process.
At Sullivan & VonBokel, P.C., that is exactly what we do. We offer clients in Madison County, St. Clair County, and throughout the Greater St. Louis metro area build the strong defense they need in criminal law matters. Our practice includes:
- Drug and property crimes: We work with clients who are facing charges for drug possession, manufacturing, theft, burglary and other related drug and property crimes.
- DUI: We represent first offenders and repeat offenders who are facing charges for drunk driving. If our clients are eligible for the Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID), we can help them opt for BAIID rather than other consequences. We work closely with our clients to protect their driving privileges after their arrest.
- Traffic tickets: Many people think that a traffic violation will do little to their record. While that is true of one ticket, accumulating traffic violations can cost you your license. We work with clients to protect their driving privileges, and we work to protect the livelihood of clients who have their commercial driver's licenses (CDLs).
- Under 21 driving crimes: Although Illinois law typically grants people three strikes against their license before privileges are suspended, the same is not true for drivers under the age of 21. If you received a traffic ticket of any sort, it is important to contact a lawyer to make sure you have a good understanding of how it can impact your license in the future.
