We Do Our Own Investigation

Our firm does not just sit back and take the word of prosecutors when determining what happened in a DUI case. We do our own investigations. We work hard to uncover evidence that supports our position that you were not under the influence of alcohol. In each case, we fight for a reduction in your charges or a dismissal if possible. We only negotiate with the prosecutor if it is in your best interests to do so. Where other attorneys throw in the towel, we are prepared to take cases to trial and advocate aggressively on behalf of our clients.

How Can a DUI Defense Lawyer Help You?

Our experienced DUI defense attorney can:

• Evaluate your case: We will examine the facts of your case, including any evidence against you, to determine whether the charges are defensible.
• Protect your rights: We can ensure that your rights will be protected throughout the legal process, including during any police questioning or searches.
• Develop a defense strategy: Based on the facts of your case, Attorney Zaremba can create a customized defense strategy that is designed to minimize the charges against you or even have them dismissed altogether.
• Negotiate plea deals: If a plea bargain is in your best interests, we can negotiate with the prosecutor to obtain the best possible deal for you.
• Represent you in court: If your case goes to trial, Mr. Zaremba can advocate on your behalf in court and present your defense strategy to the judge and jury.
• Provide guidance and support: Throughout the legal process, we can provide guidance and support to help you make informed decisions about your case and ensure you understand your legal rights and options.

Our DUI defense attorney can help you navigate the complex legal system and work towards the best possible outcome for your case.

We will carefully review all the details of your case, including police reports, witness statements, and any evidence obtained during your DUI arrest. We will then use this information to help you determine the best course of action, explain the potential consequences of a DUI conviction, and offer guidance on how to proceed. In some cases, we may challenge the validity of any evidence obtained during the arrest, such as the results of a breathalyzer test or field sobriety tests, in order to weaken the prosecution's case. We may also seek alternative sentencing, such as a diversion program or community service, in some cases where a conviction is likely.

Experience Matters

Our firm has experience in multiple types of DUI cases, including the following:

• First-time DUI
• Second DUI

Common Questions About Illinois DUI Cases
