Looking for good criminal attorney in Springfield IL?
Lost in Springfield asked:
My brother was recently arrested for obstructing a police officer. He gave a false name when he was being questioned while the driver of the car was having a DUI test. After giving the wrong name the police officer arrested him but let the driver go home since he was under the legal limit. Currently looking for a great criminal attorney in Springfield. Any Advice?
OMG. This is sooo weird. I just went through the SAME thing your brother did. Well, kinda. I gave my real name, but I lied and told the police I was driving, when really my bf (who was drunk and already had 2 DUIs) was the one who drove. Anyway, they heard from witnesses that I wasn’t the driver (I hadn’t drank a sip) and they threatened to jail me for lying! The officer said he would’ve if there were more officers who was working tonight. Anyway, they let me go and I totally dumped my bf. I’m not sure of any good criminal lawyers (since I didn’t get arrested), but check the yellow pages and call around about their history.
p.s. I’m in Springfield, Il too. Gosh this is freaky. Wonder if your brother and I had the same A hole cops too!
