CASE RESULTS

Out of State Warrant and Second DUI Charge Dismissed

Published: Dec 29, 2016, by admin in Criminal Defense, DUI

Recently, skilled DUI and Chicago criminal defense lawyer Michael O’Meara represented a man from California, who was not only charged with his second DUI offense in Illinois, which could result in jail time, community service, expensive fines, and suspended driving privileges, but he also had the added legal dilemma of having an outstanding arrest warrant from this DUI case since he failed to appear in court. This man would have to travel between the two states to address his Illinois DUI charges, which would likely cost him a massive amount of money, even before a resolution was reached. The man saw that his situation was dire and in his time of need, he went to the offices of O’Meara Law, LLC.

Attorney O’Meara realized that dealing with interstate cases would be a logistical nightmare for his client and immediately started working to quash and recall the warrant against his client. Once this was successfully achieved, O’Meara set his sights on the DUI offense and after two court appearances, he convinced the prosecutor to drop the DUI charge in its entirety. In the end, this client was very pleased to be excused from both predicaments without serious inconvenience or any lasting ramifications.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
