When You Have Everything to Lose in Oswego

If you've been arrested for DUI in Oswego, 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.

Oswego's rapid growth has brought significant commercial and restaurant development along Route 34. The Oswego Police Department actively patrols the main corridor and residential areas leading to I-88.

DUI Arrests in Oswego: What You're Facing

Oswego has exploded in growth over the past decade and is now Kendall County's largest community. It attracts young professional families, many of whom commute to Chicago or the I-88 tech corridor. With that growth has come expanded commercial strips along Route 34 - and increased DUI enforcement to match.

Kendall County cases go to the courthouse in Yorkville, handled by the 23rd Judicial Circuit. This is a smaller, more intimate court than DuPage or Kane - and local knowledge of how the Kendall County State's Attorney's office handles DUI cases is essential to an effective defense.

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 23rd 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 Oswego DUI Cases Specifically

Andy's multicounty experience is particularly valuable in Kendall County, where fewer defense attorneys practice regularly. He knows the 23rd Circuit's procedures and has built the court knowledge that matters when your case is heard in Yorkville.
