Having a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher is a crime for any driver. Illinois was one of the earliest adopters of the .08 BAC standard. Drivers under 21 years of age are subject to zero tolerance laws. Any alcohol in their system could lead to a DUI conviction. In 2011 alone, there were nearly 40,000 DUI arrests statewide. The impact these laws have on those arrested cannot be overestimated. A DUI conviction can have a terrible impact on your life.

The vast majority of people who are arrested for DUI lose their driving privileges. The loss of your license is no laughing matter. For the roughly 85 percent of drivers whose DUI arrest was their first offense, it might be difficult to understand the importance of fighting back. A conviction can land you in jail, expose you to hefty fines, greatly increase your insurance rates, and harm your ability to pursue education and employment opportunities.
