Illinois DUI Defense Lawyer
If you have been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) for the first time, statistics show that it is likely your first encounter with the criminal justice system. A DUI arrest, whether the first, second, or any multiple of offenses can be tough to handle. I am committed to making sure that a simple mistake or an alcohol problem does not affect the rest of your life.
I started Jerald Novak & Associates to help people in Lake County and northern Cook County, Illinois who have been arrested for DUI or other criminal charges. Often the myths people hear about DUI arrests and criminal charges are, just that, myths. My job is to simply and clearly explain the law to my clients, tell them what to expect, and help them retain or have their driver’s licenses reinstated and avoid the harsh penalties associated with a DUI or criminal arrest.
I have handled thousands of drunk driving cases and have had extraordinary success helping clients deal with a wide range of issues related to DUI / DWI charges. Some of the areas my drunk driving defense firm routinely handles include:
Driving Under the Influence (single and multiple offenses)
Reckless Homicide
Driving While License Suspended or Revoked
Leaving the Scene of an Accident
Transportation of Open Liquor
Secretary of State Hearings for License Reinstatement
Hardship Licenses
All Traffic Offenses

The Law Offices of Harold L. Wallin proudly represents its clients throughout Northern Illinois, maintaining a special practice handling DUI and related traffic matters, including driving while suspended or revoked and Secretary of State reinstatement hearings for revoked drivers.
Illinois leads the nation in cracking down on drunk drivers. A DUI conviction will automatically cause your driver’s license to be revoked, and depending on your criminal and driving history, you could be faced with car forfeiture and prison time. Even worse, a DUI is one of the most difficult criminal cases to defend, because it is typically based on an officer’s direct observation, bolstered in many cases by so-called “objective” chemical testing.
