Villa Park, Illinois, United States Driver Defense Team Full time

DUI, Traffic & Criminal Defense Attorney in Lake County, Illinois
Driver Defense Team is a growing, team-focused law firm that fights traffic tickets, DUIs, and other driving-related offenses for clients across Illinois. Named one of the Fastest Growing Law Firms in America by Inc. Magazine, we're looking for a talented attorney to join our team.
Why Join Driver Defense Team? Supportive Team Environment: We value teamwork and collaboration at every level.
Professional Growth: Tons of trial experience, regular training sessions, and mentorship opportunities.
Client-First Focus: Our reputation is built on results and service. With over 2,000 five-star reviews, you'll be part of a firm that genuinely cares and does good for its clients.
Recognition & Stability: Named to the Inc. 5000 list of Fastest Growing Companies for the past two years.
Compensation The position offers a competitive base salary of $100,000, plus $20,000 in annual performance bonuses paid quarterly. High performers also have opportunities to earn additional bonuses, bringing total compensation typically to $135,000 or more annually.
Responsibilities About the Role:
This position offers the best of criminal defense practice. Here's what your day-to-day will look like:
Represent clients daily, primarily in courtrooms in Lake County, Illinois -- Waukegan, Mundelein, Park City, and Round Lake Beach.
Negotiate with prosecutors, advise clients on case outcomes, and handle a variety of cases from minor traffic violations to DUIs and other misdemeanors.
A typical caseload consists of about 120 cases at any given time -- approximately 40 traffic tickets, 30 misdemeanor DUIs, 40 traffic misdemeanors (aggravated speeding, DWLS/R, reckless, etc), and 5-10 felonies (mostly traffic-related).
Prepare cases for hearings or trials, manage evidence, and use your skills to achieve the best outcomes for your clients.
You'll have your own caseload and autonomy to practice law your way—but you'll never be on your own. Our attorneys truly work as a team, meeting daily to discuss cases, collaborating to share strategies, and providing coverage when schedules conflict. Training sessions happen multiple times a month, and senior attorneys are always available to guide and support. To make your job even easier, you'll work alongside a dedicated Case Manager who helps advance your cases and handle client communication, so you can focus on lawyering. Importantly, you won't need to be a rainmaker bringing in new clients or handling intake—your only job is to be the best advocate for your clients.
Qualifications What We're Looking For:
Licensed Illinois Attorney with experience in criminal litigation (ASA, PD, or private defense).
Strong courtroom presence, negotiation skills, and ability to connect with judges, prosecutors, and clients.
A collaborative mindset—teamwork is a core value here.
Great attitude, professionalism, and a commitment to client success.
Bilingual (Spanish, Polish, Arabic) is a plus but not required.
Compensation $135,000 potential annually
