Driving offenses
DUI/DWI
People v. Day
Client was charged with his 2nd DUI. Our attorneys
filed motions to suppress evidence and to rescind
the 3 year statutory summary suspension of our
client’s driver’s license on the basis of certain
legal technicalities. The trial judge granted
both motions and the State was disallowed from
using any evidence including video taped field
sobriety tests and the breath test results. The
judge also ordered that our client’s driver’s
license suspension be lifted.
Result
- All charges dismissed.
People v. Dugeon
Client was charged with his second DUI. After
a long fought battle, the jury came back with
a surprising verdict of guilty. JLG attorneys
did not stop there. We filed motions for judgement
not withstanding the jury verdict and we excitingly
were able to convince the judge who presided over
the jury trial to overturn the jury verdict.
Result
– DUI dismissed outright and court supervision
(non conviction) for the charge of illegal transportation
of alcohol.
People v. Astroth
Our client was charged with DUI and Illegal Transportation
of Alcohol. Since this was not his first DUI offense,
the stakes were high b/c a conviction would result
in the loss of his license for 3 years and his
employment required him to have a driver’s license..
Case was set for a Jury Trial. Jury selection
was completed and opening arguments were made.
Strangely enough, during the next break and before
any witnesses were called the prosecutor approached
our Attorney and offered to dismiss the DUI charge.
It must have been a heck of an opening statement.
Result
– DUI dismissed outright and court supervision
(non conviction) for the charge of illegal transportation
of alcohol.
People vs. Golar
Client had 4 prior DUI/DWI charges and 2 prior driving
after his license was revoked. Client was
charged with a new charge for driving w/o a license
and the State was seeking 180 days in jail.
Although State law required a jail sentence,
JLG attorneys were able to obtain a sentence where
no jail was served.

Client was given the opportunity to complete
public service work instead of serving
a jail sentence.
People vs. Spellman
Client was found parked in a convenient store parking
lot, sleeping behind the wheel of his car
with a half full beer can in his cup holder.
Client was awakened by two police officers,
then they requested a field sobriety test.
Unfortunately, the client did not perform
the test very well and was also videotaped
unable to answer questions correctly.
After JLG was retained, it was discovered
that this was the client's 5th DUI arrest which
in the State of Illinois was a felony that
meant the client would have to spend mandatory time
in jail.
Result:
Charge was reduced to a misdemeanor, small
fine and probation.
People
vs. Forren
Client was charged with 1 count of DUI, 1 count
of BAC over .08 and 1 count of operating
an uninsured vehicle. This being his 2nd conviction
would see his license revoked for at least
1 year. Client had been found by the
police sitting in the driver’s seat of a parked
car with the keys in the passenger seat next
to him. Client failed the field sobriety tests
and refused the breathalyzer at the scene.
Later at the police station, client provided
a breath sample of .121. JLG attorneys analyzed
the situation and were able to get a new
charge of reckless driving added to the charges,
which is a lower offense than DUI and does
not result in revocation of driving privileges.
Result:
Client's plea was reckless driving with all remaining
counts dismissed, with no loss of driving privileges.

certainty of jail time.

in the Department of Corrections, our attorneys
were able to obtain a disposition where our client
was allowed to serve a minimal jail sentence which
included being released to go to work during his
regular work hours.
People vs. Casson
JLG represented a pro football running back against
multiple charges of driving while license

where the client was not required to serve
any jail time.

10-day jail sentence which was honored as a concurrent
sentence on all 3 counties.
People vs. Blakesly
The client was charged with improper use of a
driver's license, a misdemeanor. Most defendants
are concerned about imprisonment above all else,
while others are concerned that large fines
could put them in financial distress. In a case
such as this, one might worry about suspension
or revocation of driving privileges. The
charges in this case were not severe, but that
was not the concern of this defendant.
Their fear was having their dreams shattered forever
because of one unfortunate incident. The
role of Johnson Law Group was two fold: to obtain
the lowest possible punishment and to keep
the charges off our clients' record so
that they have a chance to achieve their aspirations.
Result:
Achieved!

The victim caught our client in the process of committing
the crime and was able to positively ID him from
a lineup after police caught him hiding nearby.

our client was already on Probation for a prior

dismissed. Result:

People vs. Beal

when prosecutors charged our client with walking
into a diner and shooting another man who supposedly
had had an affair with his wife. The difficulties
were enhanced because our client committed the act

convince the State to aggree to a minimum possible
sentence.
Result:
Minimum sentence by statute was imposed.

Expungements
JLG attorneys have prevailed in numerous cases
where clients have sought to expunge their
criminal record in order to free themselves of
the stigma of having a criminal record
due to a mistake in the past. JLG attorneys have
prevailed in such cases even though the
prosecutor and the state police have vigorously
objected to our client's petitions for
expungement. i.e. People vs. J. Kale, People

Right to Counsel
People
v. Downey
A man in Lake County had his defense counsel disqualified
by a trial court claiming a conflict of
interest existed. This was based on allegations
that a partner of the counsel's firm had
previously represented the victim's grandmother
in a civil matter. The court looked to the case
People vs. Ortega to determine if a possible
conflict of interest existed. In the case of Ortega,
the counsel for the defendant was the law
partner and brother of the counsel for
the defendant in a related case. The appeals court
found that no such relationship was present
in this case and that the state had not produced
sufficient evidence to support the motion.
Result:
The trial courts decision in this matter was reversed
and remanded.

were able to convince the judge to impose
a local short term jail sentence.
Result:
Client avoided a prison term on the prior felony
and served a short 60 day jail term on
the new felony escape charge.
People v. Davis
2nd District - Kane County Illinois Case No: 2-03-0603
Issue: Search and Seizure
A Kane County man won his motion to quash his arrest
and suppress the evidence seized. The state
appealed the decision and brought the case back
to trial. The initial offense that made police question
Mr. Davis was riding his bike at night without a
headlight. Mr. Davis was arrested for possession
of a controlled substance (Cocaine). Officers stated
that while being questioned, the defendant seemed
nervous and kept reaching into his pocket. The officers
stated they believed this to be a "high crime" area
and given the circumstances, initiated a pat down
search of his person. During the search the officer
felt something in his pocket, which he believed
was a box cutter. Upon reaching into Mr. Davis's
pocket to retrieve the object, the office discovered
the cocaine, as well. The appellate courts findings
are as follows: the initial stop of Mr. Davis was
justifiable. The officer stated in five years he
had been at this location three to four times for
drug related incidents. The court, however, found
the area not to be a "high crime" area. In
order to conduct a search, the officer should have
had reason to believe the suspect was armed and
dangerous. Taking into account the factors in this
case, the court found that the search leading to
the discovery of cocaine and the arrest of the defendant
was not justified based on the factors in this case.
Result: The appellate court affirmed the trial
courts decision.

proceeded to a second Jury Trial on a single count
of Rape. The Defendant was found not guilty of
the rape charge and given credit for the local
jail time that he had completed and was released.
Result:
The Defendant was found not guilty of the rape
charge and given credit for the local jail
time that he had completed and was released.
