Lake County’s Strict DUI Enforcement
Home to over 700,000 residents, Lake County is a mix of bustling suburbs, lakefront communities, and major highways, including I-94, Route 41, and Route 120—all heavily patrolled for DUI enforcement. Law enforcement agencies, including the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, Illinois State Police, and numerous municipal police departments, conduct DUI roadblocks, field sobriety tests, and breathalyzer screenings with the goal of securing convictions. The Lake County Courthouse in Waukegan handles the majority of DUI cases, where judges are known for strict sentencing, especially for repeat offenses or high BAC cases.
Andy Sotiropoulos knows how to challenge the prosecution’s case at every level. From contesting illegal traffic stops to disputing inaccurate breathalyzer results, he meticulously examines every detail of his clients’ arrests to uncover police errors, constitutional violations, and unreliable evidence. Whether you’re facing a first-time DUI, felony DUI, or license suspension hearing, Andy has the experience, strategy, and determination to fight for the best possible outcome.
With Lake County’s frequent DUI patrols, roadside checkpoints, and zero-tolerance approach, many drivers find themselves arrested on weak or questionable evidence. Field sobriety tests can be flawed, chemical tests can be inaccurate, and procedural errors happen more often than you think. Andy ensures that no aspect of your case goes unchallenged in the courtroom.
If you’ve been charged with a DUI in Lake County, the consequences can be severe—fines, license suspension, and even jail time. But you don’t have to face it alone. Call Andy Sotiropoulos today at (708) 408-9010 for a relentless DUI defense that protects your rights and fights for your future.
