@zarembalaw: 🚨 A first-offense DUI in Illinois is a Class A misdemeanor under 625 ILCS 5/11-501 — and the license consequences can start before you ever see a courtroom. Class A carries up to 364 days in jail and fines up to $2,500, with possible probation, court costs, mandatory alcohol/drug evaluation and remedial education. Separately, a failed chemical test (0.08+) triggers a 6-month statutory summary suspension and a refusal triggers 12 months under 625 ILCS 5/11-501.1, effective on the 46th day after notice. A DUI conviction also brings revocation of your driving privileges under 625 ILCS 5/6-205, and a revoked license never expires on its own — reinstatement requires a Secretary of State hearing. Insurance spikes, SR-22 filings, and employment or professional-license fallout are common. Court supervision may be possible in some cases, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime option and never automatic. 💡 Facing a DUI? Attorney Jack L. Zaremba is a former Will County prosecutor with over 20 years of legal experience defending DUI charges and handling Illinois license reinstatement.
