If you've been arrested for DUI in Glen Ellyn, you're probably not a criminal. You're likely a professional, a parent, someone with a career and reputation built over years of hard work. Now you're facing charges that could change everything.

I'm Andy Sotiropoulos, and I've spent 25+ years defending people just like you. Not career criminals—professionals who made a mistake and now need someone who understands what's really at stake: your license, your job, your future.

It matters who arrested you. Cases prosecuted by village prosecutors may be handled differently than those handled by the State's Attorney's office. I know the prosecutors, the judges, and how cases move through 18th Judicial Circuit. That experience matters for your outcome.

What Makes My Approach Different

Most DUI lawyers handle DUI cases alongside divorces, personal injury, and everything else. I handle only DUI cases. Have for 25+ years. This focus means:

• You work directly with me—not a junior associate or paralegal
• I know the science—field sobriety tests, breathalyzers, blood draws all have weaknesses
• I protect your license—both your driver's license AND your professional license (IDFPR, FAA, ARDC)
• I understand what's at stake—this isn't just another case to me

Illinois has no expungement for DUI. This will be on your record. That's why how your case is handled from day one matters so much.
