Our Proven Defense Strategies
Validating traffic stops under 625 ILCS 5/11-501: we meticulously review why and how you were pulled over on I-294, Cicero Avenue, or local roads—if the officer lacked a valid reason, we move to have all evidence suppressed.
Chain-of-custody scrutiny for blood sample handling: every handoff, label, and storage step is examined for errors—any break in protocol can render the results inadmissible in your Bridgeview Courthouse DUI arrest.
Motion practice to suppress evidence from rights violations: whether it’s an unlawful checkpoint, Miranda missteps, or incomplete paperwork, we file targeted motions to exclude tainted evidence and strengthen your defense.
Negotiating alternative sentencing and diversion agreements: leveraging our relationships with Bridgeview prosecutors, we pursue restricted driving permits, alcohol education programs, or community service in place of full DUI license revocations.
Trial preparation based on local Bridgeview Courthouse experience: our familiarity with Oak Lawn, Burbank, and other southwest suburban PD tactics ensures your case is presented with compelling, jurisdiction-specific arguments that resonate with Bridgeview judges and juries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where is the Bridgeview DUI court located?
A: Bridgeview Courthouse, 10220 S 76th Ave—call (312) 494-3131 for details.
Q: Will my license be suspended for a first-time DUI arrest at Bridgeview Courthouse?
A: Yes. After a first DUI arrest in Bridgeview (District 5), Illinois law mandates a Statutory Summary Suspension of your driver’s license for 6 to 12 months under 625 ILCS 5/11-501. Repeat DUI arrests carry even harsher penalties and longer suspensions. The exact duration depends on whether you refused chemical testing—resulting in a 12-month suspension—or recorded a BAC of 0.08% or higher (or tested positive for drugs). Expect to receive a Notice of Statutory Summary Suspension from the Secretary of State outlining your suspension term, which takes effect 46 days after your arrest.
Q: Can I fight the suspension of my license after a DUI arrest?
A: Absolutely. You have 90 days from your Bridgeview DUI arrest to file a Petition to Rescind your Statutory Summary Suspension under 625 ILCS 5/2-118.1. This gives you an administrative hearing to challenge the suspension—whether for lack of probable cause, faulty testing procedures, or improper notice. Fabbrini Law Group regularly secures successful petitions for clients facing DUI arrests at the Bridgeview Courthouse, keeping you on the road.
Q: If my license is suspended after a DUI arrest, can I still drive to work?
A: Yes. We will obtain a Monitoring Device Driving Permit (MDDP) for you, allowing limited driving privileges during your suspension. This permit requires installing a BAIID (Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device) in your vehicle, effectively a built-in breathalyzer. With an MDDP, you can legally commute to work or essential appointments even after your DUI license suspension from Bridgeview Courthouse begins.

Fabbrini Law Group’s DUI attorneys’ reviews
Jim Fabbrini saved my husband’s license. After his second DUI we were worried that he would lose his license and not be able to work. Jim was able to have the charges lessened and keep my husband driving! He knows his way around a court room. He is a straightforward guy and tells you like it is. He fights hard for his clients for a fair price.”

Jim got a major case for me dismissed 100% on a technicality at trial!!! I have worked with some of the best lawyers in IL, and the Fabbrini law group trumps them all! Most lawyers do ZERO work and plead out to the best deal. Not Jim, there never even was an offer because we went straight to trial. Jim and Camby are excellent litigators and actually worked on my case. I was shown case law and everything they did every step of the way. 100% transparent communication. They went above and beyond for a fair price and didn’t charge more for trial for a case from 5/20/13. Highly recommended.

This is an exceptional law firm. I used this law firm to represent my case. This law firm was recommended by me from a friend by the name of Jay. About a year and a half had gone by after I get pulled over for a DUI among other citations. This would consist of me going through court in and out, constantly everyday for a DUI ticket I was wrongly accused for among other tickets. Now this really gets in the way of work. Now the court process is always a drag, but with Fabbrini lawyer Group/law Firm made everything so easy! They were there all the way and helped me step by step of the way and ensuring I understood my options and all my choices very well and are very flexible. They are not like other law firms that just look for you in your pockets for money. They are very professional and always look out for the best for their clients.
