CASE RESULTS

Since it usually involves the possibility of jail time, thousands of dollars in fees, and losing your ability to drive, being charged with your first DUI in Illinois is a dreadful experience for anyone. It was no different for the mother of three young children, who refused to submit to a breath test and was subsequently charged with driving under the influence. While this was her first offense, she suddenly found herself confronted with the aspect of some very stern consequences including a one-year license suspension in addition to the costly and humiliating installation of a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) on her vehicle. This mother obviously wanted to mitigate the impact of this DUI charge and decided to retain the services of Chicago defense attorney Michael O’Meara based on his extensive experience in similar first time DUI cases.

Attorney O’Meara immediately set to work to alleviate his client’s legal concerns. He utilized his considerable experience and extensive network of relationships to negotiate with the assigned prosecutor to reach a very favorable plea agreement. Uned the terms of the arraignment, this young mother was spared from losing her license for any period of time and in turn avoided the requirement to have the expensive BAIID installed. By consulting with O’Meara Law, she not only saved a considerable amount of money, but also the embarrassment of needing to blow into a machine anytime she needed to get behind the wheel.

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.
