New Lenox DUI Lawyer

When You Have Everything to Lose in New Lenox

If you've been arrested for DUI in New Lenox, 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.

New Lenox sits just east of Joliet at the I-80/Route 30 corridor - both high-enforcement zones. The village's growth has brought restaurant and bar development along Route 30 with corresponding enforcement.

DUI Arrests in New Lenox: What You're Facing

New Lenox is one of Will County's most desirable suburbs, attracting families and professionals who commute via I-80 to Chicago and the southern suburbs. The I-80 corridor through New Lenox is among the most heavily patrolled stretches in Will County - Illinois State Police maintain a consistent presence, and Will County Sheriff deputies cover the township roads.

Will County cases are handled at the 12th Judicial Circuit courthouse in Joliet. Andy has experience in Will County courts and understands the local approach to DUI prosecution.

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 12th 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.

Defending New Lenox DUI Cases Specifically

Will County's 12th Circuit has its own approach to DUI cases. Andy's multicounty experience means he brings the same aggressive, evidence-focused defense to New Lenox cases that he delivers in DuPage - without the learning curve of an attorney who only works one county.
