If you have been arrested for DUI, you need an experienced and knowledgeable attorney. At the Law Office of Peter A. Buh, we know that DUI consequences, either at the misdemeanor or felony level, can be very severe. When you are charged with DUI, you are facing fines, driver's license suspension, mandatory drug and alcohol treatment, jail time, and even a breath alcohol ignition interlock device, which is a mechanism that requires you to use when you are driving your vehicle. Our firm analyzes your case thoroughly and from the start we challenge police procedures and breathalyzer test results, which often results in reduced charges and even dismissal of the case.

Remember, if you are arrested for DUI you must deal with the criminal court system and potentially face a driver’s license to try to prevent a driver's license suspension for up to 36 months. Let our firm represent you so that we can build a strong defense against the DUI charge and protect your driver's license.

Elgin DUI Attorney

When a person is under the influence of alcohol that impairs his mental and
motor skills and is driving a motor vehicle is commonly called drunk driving. It is illegal to be “drunk driving” in all 50 states within the U.S. The statutory offense is typically called driving under the influence (DUI), driving while intoxicated (OWI), operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI).

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated that 17,941 individuals died in “alcohol related” collisions in 2006. There were nearly 45,000 traffic related deaths in 2006. NHTSA has a relatively broad definition of “alcohol related”. Alcohol related is defined as a driver, a passenger or an occupant of the vehicle had a blood alcohol level (BAC) of .01 or greater. Drivers with a BAC of .10 or greater are 6 more times more likely to be involved in a fatal accident than drivers without any alcohol in their system.

All 50 states have a per se blood or breath alcohol level as a criminal offense. If the BAC is .08 or greater, the driver is in violation of the per se statute. The amount of alcohol required to achieve a BAC level of .08 is determined by many factors. Body weight, age, sex recent food intake amongst many factors will affect a BAC level. It is important to retain an attorney who is highly experienced in DUI law. Your DUI attorney may be able to challenge various pieces of evidence associated with your DUI arrest. It is imperative that you retain an attorney who practices in the county where you are charged.
