2nd DUI with .187 Blood Test Not Guilty
Our client was charged with a second DUI offense with a blood alcohol level of .187. He had allegedly assaulted a Chicago Heights police officer and attempted suicide while in custody. The DUI defense team at Wigell & Associates was able to get the blood test and evidence of erratic behavior excluded from consideration at trial and the jury returned a verdict of not guilty of DUI and assault.

Aggressive Defense Against Multiple DWI / OWI / DUI Charges in Illinois or Indiana - Call 866-We-Win-DUI
In Illinois and Indiana the consequences of a second (or third) DUI conviction are much greater than the penalties for a first offense. With each subsequent drunk driving conviction, the penalties increase dramatically. With your second DUI offense your driver's license could be revoked and you won't be able to get it back for two or three years, if ever.
When the stakes are high, you need an aggressive defense from experienced DUI defense attorneys right away. Before you work with just any DUI lawyer, take a look at their track record and see how it stacks up against the DUI victories Wigell & Associates has achieved.
Many DUI attorneys aren't trial lawyers. They plead most of their clients guilty. If you have a prior DUI conviction, that guilty plea might keep you out of jail - but it could also keep you off the road.
At Wigell & Associates, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. When you need aggressive defense of a second DUI offense, contact the Chicago DUI defense team at Wigell & Associates for a free initial consultation. Call 866-We-Win-DUI.
In our 30 years of DUI defense, our attorneys have achieved an impressive record of results in both criminal court and Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) driver's license suspension hearings. We defend drivers in the greater Chicago area, in Cook County, Will County, DuPage County and Kankakee County, Illinois, and in Lake County and Porter County, Indiana.
Second / Third DWI Offense Penalties
A second DUI offense is still a misdemeanor, although under certain circumstances or with additional convictions, you can reach a DWI felony charge.The stakes go way up with each additional drunk driving conviction. You're facing:
- Jail time
- Alcohol treatment
- Large fines
- Longer periods of probation
- Indefinite revocation of your drivers' license
- Greatly increased insurance premiums or cancelled auto coverage
Don't Give Up Hope
A DUI arrest does not mean you're guilty! It does not mean the police followed proper procedures. Wigell & Associates has been very successful in defending clients on a second offense, DUI misdemeanor, even a DUI felony charge with a variety of defense strategies. We know how important your driver's license is too - especially if you are a trucker or other professional with a commercial driver's license (CDL).We can also petition the Secretary of State for you to request reinstatement of your drivers' license back after a DUI-related revocation.
