Multiple DUIs are serious. When you need serious legal representation, count on Chicago attorney Hal M. Garfinkel to protect your rights.

Attorney Hal M. Garfinkel, a former prosecutor with 20 years of experience, has a track record of success in defending clients against drinking and driving charges. He understands how to creatively and effectively attack the basis of the prosecution's case. If you are being charged as a repeat offender, Mr. Garfinkel will provide the aggressive DUI defense you want and need.

Evidence in Multiple DUI Cases

In any DUI case, your blood alcohol content (BAC) at the time you were pulled over can play a vital role in how your case is prosecuted. The legal threshold to be considered "under the influence" is .08 percent or higher. However, you could also be charged with DUI based on your general demeanor or driving before a traffic stop.

At the Law Offices of Hal M. Garfinkel LLC, Chicago Criminal Defense Attorney, we can meet with you after your arrest to discuss the prosecution's case against you and how you can respond to the charges you face.

Aggressive and Unyielding Drunk Driving Defense

Illinois is harsh on repeat drunk drivers. Unlike after a first DUI/DWI offense, there is little freedom to negotiate for a lesser charge. Additionally, the penalties are severe and are not easily mitigated.

When you contact attorney Hal M. Garfinkel, he will do everything possible to obtain the best possible result on your behalf. He will provide you with the aggressive defense you need from the start to finish.
