Holiday DUI Enforcement
James R. Doerr • November 25, 2019
Unfortunately, the festive holiday season typically ushers in an uptick in the number of DUIs. But this holiday season brings a new twist to traffic and DUI stops.

If you have any questions about DUIs or traffic stops, contact James at 847-705-7555 or jdoerr@lavellelaw.com.
