Illinois sets the BAC limit at 0.08 for DUI charges, with first-offense penalties including class a misdemeanor — up to 1 year jail, up to $2,500 fine, 1-year license revocation.

Our streamlined process gets you the help you need quickly and efficiently.
If you receive a target letter or learn you are under federal investigation, contact a federal defense attorney immediately. Pre-indictment intervention can sometimes prevent charges.
Federal cases require grand jury indictment. While grand juries almost always indict, your attorney can present exculpatory evidence and challenge the government's case before trial.
Review voluminous federal discovery — wiretaps, financial records, informant reports. File critical pre-trial motions to suppress evidence, challenge informant reliability, or argue entrapment.
Federal trial conviction rates exceed 90%. If the evidence is strong, a carefully negotiated plea with cooperation or safety valve provisions can achieve below-guidelines sentencing. If the case has real defenses, trial may be the best option.

Class A misdemeanor — up to 1 year jail, up to $2,500 fine, 1-year license revocation
Class A misdemeanor — mandatory 5 days jail or 240 hours community service, 5-year license revocation
Illinois offers court supervision for first-offense DUI — which is NOT a conviction for criminal purposes but may still affect immigration.
Legal for adults 21+ (up to 30g flower, 5g concentrate). Prior marijuana convictions eligible for expungement.

Illinois generally requires a duty to retreat before using deadly force, except in your home (Castle Doctrine). You may use force without retreating to prevent an imminent threat of unlawful force.
No explicit stand your ground statute, but case law supports no duty to retreat in some situations.
Expungement and sealing available for arrests without conviction, qualified probation, and certain misdemeanors. Felony sealing available for many non-violent offenses.
Illinois is a sanctuary state — the TRUST Act limits local law enforcement cooperation with ICE. Chicago has strong sanctuary city protections. However, criminal convictions at state level still carry federal immigration consequences.
For Arab and Muslim community members with immigration concerns, it is critical to have an attorney who understands both criminal defense strategy and immigration consequences. A conviction that seems minor can lead to deportation, denial of naturalization, or loss of visa status.
