If you have been arrested by Schaumburg police officer over the past three nights, there are some important things that you should do to try to preserve your rights. First, you should retain an experienced criminal defense lawyer who knows the ropes as far as handling DUI matters and DUI defense.

You need a lawyer who is familiar with the courthouse and who understands the rulings and proceedings that go on as well as the judges who will be hearing your case. Further the Schaumburg police department takes the prosecution of their DUI arrests very seriously and typically does not negotiate a resolution to the case which forces many people and clients trial – this means that you need a lawyer who can take your case to trial when necessary.
