Gilberts DUI Attorney

If you were arrested for a DUI in Gilberts, Illinois, contact Peter Buh. Mr. Buh brings over 19 years of criminal law experience to every drunk driving case he handles. He understands the severity of the criminal and administrative penalties associated with drinking and driving. Driver's license suspensions, fines, jail time, and a criminal record may have a significant impact on your life. The impact is particularly severe if you have numerous DUIs - you can face a potentially long mandatory jail term or a felony DUI charge. The attorney you retain to handle a DUI charge can affect the outcome of your criminal case.

While the State would have you believe otherwise, being charged with a DUI and being convicted of drunk driving are not the same. With an experienced drunk driving defense attorney, you may be able to avoid a DUI conviction and the strict Illinois DUI penalties.

Breathalyzer calibration: Many of the tools used by police to assess blood alcohol content (BAC) may be unreliable under certain circumstances.

DUI traffic stops: Numerous DUI stops have Fourth Amendment issues. In order to make a DUI arrest, the officer must have probable cause for the arrest. The standard field sobriety tests such as the horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN), the walk and turn, and the one leg stand offer little proof of driving while intoxicated, since numerous people cannot pass them even when sober.

If you or a member of your family has been charged with driving under the influence (DUI) in Gilberts or the surrounding areas, please contact Peter Buh, he is your Gilbert DUI Attorney.

Prosecutor fired for DUI in Illinois

Former Assistant State's Attorney Thomas H. Nevins was at work the day he was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence.

Nevins was fired by State's Attorney Thomas Gibbons this week.

"At this time, we have no information to suggest he was he drinking while performing his duties as a felony prosecutor," according to spokesperson for the Madison County State's Attorney's Office.
Nevins was stopped by Edwardsville police on Thursday in the 200 block of Conventry Place after they received complaints that a 2010 black Subaru Outback was driving across the center line. In the law enforcement sworn statement, police stated that Nevins smelled strongly of alcohol, had glazed eyes, appeared disoriented and admitted drinking and was unsteady on his feet.

No refusal weekend in Kane County

Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon is holding another “no refusal” holiday weekend to combat drunk driving.

According to a press release issued this week, his office will collaborate with multiple Kane County municipalities to crack down on impaired drivers on New Year’s Eve.

The sixth “No Refusal” operation conducted in Kane County will be the first by McMahon and the first in the county on New Year’s Eve. It also will follow U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood’s call for more states to use the strategy to help diminish drunken driving.

“Drunken driving is an unnecessary hazard on our roadways that often ends with tragic results,” McMahon said in the press release. “As state’s attorney, I have a responsibility not only to prosecute DUI offenders, but also to educate the public not to drive when they drink.

“Publicity of past no-refusal operations has been successful in reducing the number of drunken drivers on our roadways, and it is my hope that we can continue to get would-be DUI offenders to think twice before driving.

“With that in mind, I am only announcing when we will have the no-refusal operation. I will not say which municipalities will be working with us. For further information, contact your Kane County DUI Attorney.
