Driving Under The Influence of Alcohol (DUI) – License Suspension Removed
My client, a schoolteacher, was driving on Golf Road In Schaumburg and struck a light post. After the Schaumburg Police arrived, my client admitted to drinking 6 beers at a bar, had slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and a strong odor of alcohol on her breath.
She failed the standard field sobriety tests. Since she refused the breathalyzer test, the Secretary of State suspended her license for 1 year. My office quickly filed the paperwork to have her hearing to prevent the 1 year suspension of her driver’s license.
On the first court date, since the prosecutor was not ready for the hearing, we were able to have the suspension removed from my client’s driving record. We then successfully negotiated the DUI charge down to reckless driving so that she would not lose her job!

Arrested for DUI in Illinois? Your License Will Be Suspended - Automatically – Unless you act fast.
In Illinois, a DUI arrest doesn’t just mean a criminal charge — it also triggers a separate license suspension, regardless of the outcome of the DUI charge.
This is called a Statutory Summary Suspension, and it happens automatically 46 days after your arrest. The suspension lasts anywhere from 6 months to 3 years, depending on whether you submitted to testing and failed, or refused breath or chemical testing altogether.
We prevent the suspension by filing a Petition to Rescind and going to court to prove that the police did not follow the law during your DUI arrest. If the police failed to do so, the suspension is rescinded, and your license remains valid.
What sets Cosmano Law Offices apart from other lawyers:
We fight the suspension in court by filing a Petition to Rescind — often winning and keeping our clints’ licenses valid
Most lawyers do not challenge the license suspension — leaving their clients with a suspended license, even before the DUI case is resolved.
