Our Proven DUI Defense Strategies at Skokie Courthouse
We’ll Question Every Detail of Your Traffic Stop:
Pulled over after being arrested for DUI near Skokie? We’ll demand to see the officer’s justification under 625 ILCS 5/11-501—if they can’t point to a specific violation, we’ll fight to have your DUI case at Skokie Courthouse thrown out.
We’ll Test the Breathalyzer’s Reliability:
Those devices power countless 1st time DUI convictions. We subpoena maintenance logs and operator training records to expose any calibration lapses or misuse—any flaw can lead to your BAC results being excluded.
We’ll Double-Check Your Blood Sample:
Blood tests hinge on perfect handling from draw to lab. We trace every step—labeling, storage, transport—to uncover protocol breaks that invalidate your results in a Skokie Courthouse DUI case.
We’ll Find Paperwork Mistakes and Deadlines Missed:
One missed form or late filing can doom a prosecutor’s case. We comb through every document—if they slipped up on a deadline or filled out the wrong report, we’ll move to suppress your evidence or secure a dismissal.
We’ll Negotiate to Keep You Driving:
Even if full dismissal isn’t possible, our relationships with Skokie prosecutors let us secure restricted driving permits, alcohol-education alternatives, or community-service agreements—so you’re not sidelined by a DUI license revocation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where do I go for a Skokie DUI hearing?
A: Skokie Courthouse, 5600 Old Orchard Rd, Skokie, IL.
Q: Will my license be suspended for a 1st time DUI arrest?
A: If you’ve been arrested for DUI and have a case in Skokie (District 2), expect an automatic Statutory Summary Suspension of your driver’s license for 6 to 12 months under Illinois law. Repeat DUI arrests carry even longer suspensions. The exact length hinges on whether you refused testing—triggering a 12-month suspension—or recorded a BAC of 0.08% or higher (or tested positive for drugs). After your DUI case at Skokie Courthouse, the Secretary of State will send a Notice of Statutory Summary Suspension outlining the suspension period, which takes effect 46 days post-arrest.
Q: Can I fight the suspension of my license?
A: Absolutely. You have 90 days from the date you were arrested for DUI to file a Petition to Rescind your Statutory Summary Suspension at the Skokie Courthouse under 625 ILCS 5/2-118.1. That grants you an administrative hearing to contest the suspension—whether for lack of probable cause, faulty testing devices, or paperwork errors. Fabbrini Law Group routinely wins these hearings, protecting your driving privileges after a 1st time DUI.
Q: If my license is suspended for DUI, can I still drive to work?
A: Yes. We’ll obtain a Monitoring Device Driving Permit (MDDP) for you following your DUI case at Skokie Courthouse. With the installation of a BAIID (Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device) in your car, you can legally commute to work, school, and medical appointments during your suspension.

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.
