Glenview is a Cook County village roughly 15 miles northwest of downtown Chicago. If you were arrested for DUI or another crime in Glenview, your misdemeanor and traffic case is generally heard in the Circuit Court of Cook County's Second Municipal District at the Skokie Courthouse, 5600 Old Orchard Road. Stavros Law Offices defends these charges, and our Wheeling office is a short drive from Glenview. Our attorneys are both former Lake County Assistant State's Attorneys.

How a Glenview Case Moves Through Cook County
The Second Municipal District lists Glenview among the suburbs it serves. Cook County is large, and not every case stays in one place. A felony may be assigned to a different courthouse or division than a misdemeanor, and your first appearance may not be your last location. Your ticket or bond papers show where to appear and when. Confirm the details with the Clerk of the Circuit Court or call our office, because an old date or the wrong room can cause a missed appearance.
Glenview DUI Defense
Waukegan Road (Route 43), Lake Avenue, Willow Road, Milwaukee Avenue and Golf Road are busy roads, with Interstate 294 on the west and Interstate 94 on the east. A DUI stop on any of them leads to a criminal charge and a Secretary of State summary suspension that begins on the 46th day after notice. You have 90 days to petition to rescind it. We check the reason for the stop, the field sobriety tests, video and the breath or blood test. Our Cook County DUI page, Illinois DUI defense overview and summary suspension guide have more detail.
