If you are arested for a DUI in Lombard, Illinois, contact Peter Buh immediately for a free consultation.  A DUI charge under Illinois Statutes is called actually called Driving Under the Influence.  The influencing agent in a person's body can be any intoxicant including alcohol, illegal drugs such as marijuana or cocaine, or even legal over-the-counter drugs that impair driving.

     Whether or not a person is "drunk" is the major factor in determining which charge will be brought against them by the prosecuting attorney, and an even greater factor in determining whether or not they can be convicted of the offense. To determine if a person is "over the legal limits" and therefore drunk, police will often request that the person submit to a sobriety test under Illinois's implied content laws. The test may consist only of standardized field sobriety tests, or it may also involve chemical tests. One of the tests used by police requires a blood draw in order to conduct a blood test and measure the percentage of alcohol in the person's bloodstream.
