In Illinois, anyone charged with a DUI is required to complete an alcohol evalution during their case. The purpose of the evaluation is to judge the level of risk the individual poses to society by reviewing the frequency of his/her drinking and how likely it is they will be charged again with a DUI. Many clients ask us when they should complete this evaluation. Generally, if you are going to contest the DUI charge, you do not want to complete the alcohol evaluation prior to the first court date because this will allow you more time to evaluate what evidence the state's attorney has against you. If you do not want to contest the DUI, but rather enter a guilty plea, it is probably in your best interests to complete the evaluation prior to the first court date and obtain a plea deal at that time from the prosecution.
