VEHICLE FORFEITURE FOR DUI

In addition to fines and the revocation of driving privileges, your vehicle can also be forfeited, or seized, as the result of a DUI.  After the vehicle is seized, it can be sold as well, with the proceeds being retained by the state.  Although first time DUI offenders typically don't have to deal with this issue, it is always a possibility, and the more serious your offense the greater likelihood your vehicle can be sold.  If you have been charged with a DUI, contact an experienced DUI attorney immediately.

WHAT IS AN AGGRAVATED DUI?

In Illinois, an aggravated DUI results when a driver, while driving under the influence, does something or there are additional circumstances which make the situation more serious than a standard DUI.  Obviously, an aggravated DUI carries stiffer penalties and is considered a felony.  A list of aggravating circumstances can be found in the Illinois statute at 625 ILCS 5/11-501(a)(1).  If you are charged with an aggravated DUI, contact one of our experienced DUI attorneys immediately.
