FAQ
Answers to the questions we hear most often from people arrested or charged in different parts of DuPage County.

Different departments have different tendencies, equipment calibration habits, and video quality. We know which towns' cases are most winnable.

Immediately — ideally within 24 to 48 hours. The statutory summary suspension clock starts running from the date of arrest or refusal, and you have only 90 days to request a hearing. Early action gives us time to get police video before it is overwritten.
