Carpentersville DUI Attorney

DUI and Drunk Driving Defense in Carpentersville

The DUI laws of the state of Illinois are constantly changing and involve many technical issues. Understanding precisely how officers make DUI arrests, the process they must follow and how evidence can be collected can play an important role in determining the difference between heavy fines, a suspended license or jail time, and having charges reduced or thrown out.

At the DUI defense law office of Peter Buh I make it a priority to stay current on the developments in DUI laws. I explore every option when representing people in a DUI case, including thoroughly examining police officer conduct, seeking diversionary programs and arguing issues in court.

A DUI Attorney Who Will Work With You

Over the more than 17 in the criminal justice system, I have represented vacationers to the Chicago-land area, first time DUI offenders, individuals who have been previously convicted of a DUI, juveniles and clients accused of driving under the influence of prescription medication or narcotics.

I explore every option for you, including:

Examining the validity of the stop

Questioning whether the officer established impairment

Reviewing evidence and paperwork closely


Seeking diversionary programs for treatment or education

Reviewing videos of the traffic stop and arrest

Negotiating for reduced charges with the prosecution

When you have been charged with a DUI, you may face automatic license suspension, and for visitors to our state, that can translate into suspension of your license in your home state. I work with clients in both the administrative and criminal phases of a DUI case, and work hard to reduce penalties and restore your driving privileges.

More Than 18 years of Experience

I have been handling criminal cases in Illinois for more than 18 years, and that kind of experience provides insight into how to be effective for my clients. For Carpentersville DUI defense, contact my office and schedule your free initial consultation. I am your Carpentersville DUI Attorney.

Winnebago County DUI Attorney

To successfully handle DUI charges, communication is an essential skill. A DUI Attorney must be able to communicate with all audiences, from the prosecutor who may be considering dismissing the case or offering a plea bargain, to the jury who might be reaching a not guilty verdict. Effective communication allows your attorney to protect your interests, ensuring that your strongest arguments and defenses are heard and understood by all relevant parties, whether they are the prosecutors, or the judge or jury.
Recognizing the importance of communication, Your Winnebago County DUI Attorney has made this one of the central focal points of our practice. In addition to communicating well with judges, juries and other attorneys, we strive to communicate well with each and every one of our clients. Throughout your representation, we will take the time to answer all your questions and ensure that you understand the steps in the DUI process. Your calls will be answered or returned without delay.

Woodridge DUI Attorney

How We Challenge DUI Charges

When you face a DUI charge, it is important to have a Woodridge DUI Attorney who understands both the consequences for your future and how to challenge the charges in court. At The Law Offices of Peter Buh, he will fight to preserve your future and your freedom.

Former Prosecutor Who Knows How to Fight DUI Charges

Peter Buh is a former prosecutor who understands how the police work when developing a DUI charge. We know where to look to identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case. In short, we make the prosecution work hard to prove its case, rather than offering an immediate guilty plea on behalf of our client.

Free Consultation • Major Credit Cards

Although the facts of each case are different, DUI Attorney Peter Buh has found that certain defense strategies are often successful:

• We make sure that the police had reason for the drunk driving stop. We may employ investigators to identify road and weather conditions that may have affected our client's driving.
• We make sure that the arrest was justified and that the officer had legitimate reasons to administer field sobriety tests or portable breath tests.
• We make sure that the blood draw was properly performed at the police station, that the blood was labeled and stored according to established protocols and that the results of the blood analysis were correctly interpreted.
• We look at the sequence of events. For example, if a driver was involved in an accident near his or her home, called the police and went inside the house to get a beer while waiting for the police, he or she would probably register a blood alcohol level that could lead to an arrest and charge.

We make sure that issues such as these are brought forward when defending a client against a DUI charge.

Contact our office today to learn how DuPage County DUI Attorney Peter Buh challenges DUI charges in court. We accept major credit cards. If you were arrested for a DUI in Wheaton or Naperville, Illinois, contact your Wheaton DUI Attorney or your Naperville DUI Attorney.

Oswego DUI Attorney

A momentary lapse in judgment can result in life-altering consequences. In Illinois, a drunk-driving conviction, called driving under the influence (DUI), can have serious repercussions. The best way to avoid these consequences is to avoid the conviction for a DUI. If you have been accused of drunk driving, come to the Oswego DUI Law Firm of Peter Buh for your DUI defense representation. In preparing your DUI defense, we will leave no stone unturned. Contact us at 630-925-7188 to schedule a free confidential consultation about your DUI defense.

A DUI Conviction in Illinois Will Have Sobering Consequences

Even a single DUI conviction will have serious consequences. As a first-time offender, you may lose your driving privileges, be required to pay expensive court fees and fines, may receive significant increases in your insurance rates and be required to undergo an alcohol assessment and treatment program. You may also be required to perform community service and be placed on probation. In addition, you will be required to attend the Victim-Impact Panel.

With multiple DUI convictions in Illinois, the consequences of these convictions are life-altering. If you are convicted of a second or third DUI, you may be required to spend time in jail. Your license will be revoked. Either of these situations usually have important collateral consequences. If you are unable to drive, there is a strong chance you will lose your ability to get to work and consequently, you may lose your job. Again, the best way to avoid these consequences is to avoid the conviction. At this time in your life, you need an experienced attorney who is not afraid to take any case to trial. Peter Buh is that attorney. For further information, contact your Oswego DUI Attorney or your Kendall County DUI Attorney.
