Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI) – License Suspension Removed

My client was driving southbound on I-94 when he rear-ended another vehicle. The other vehicle’s driver was injured and taken to the hospital. My client’s vehicle was totaled. When the Illinois State Police arrived, he observed my client to have slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and a strong odor of alcohol coming from his breath. The Trooper administered field sobriety tests in which my client failed. The Trooper arrested him and took him to the police station for a breathalyzer test. At the station my client blew a .175% in the breathalyzer machine. I filed paperwork and requested a hearing to contest the license suspension. During the hearing I convinced the judge that the breathalyzer machine was not reliable and therefore my clients test results should not be admissible. The judge agreed with my arguments and removed my client’s license suspension!
