McDevitt Osteen Chojnicki & Deters | Criminal Defense and DUI Law in Effingham, IL (h1)

McDevitt Osteen Chojnicki & Deters, LLC is a full-service law firm with offices at 127 West Jefferson Avenue in Effingham, Illinois and 200 North Main Street in Altamont, Illinois. The Effingham office can be reached at 217-342-8060, and the Altamont office at 618-483-6333. Within a broader practice that includes estate planning, family law, and real estate, the firm’s criminal defense and DUI work is led by attorney Ed Deters, who spent 12 years as Effingham County State’s Attorney before entering private practice.

Deters draws on that prosecutorial background to handle DUI cases across the full range of severity, including first offense, multiple offense, felony, and underage DUI charges, as well as general criminal defense matters. On traffic citations, the firm looks beyond simply paying a fine, working toward dispositions that keep violations off a client’s driving record or steering them toward driver improvement programs that protect insurance rates. The attorneys also represent drivers through license reinstatement hearings before the Secretary of State, an area the firm describes as calling for “the involvement of an effective attorney” given the procedural demands of that process. Across these matters, the firm pairs former-prosecutor insight with the practical goal of minimizing the lasting impact of a criminal or traffic charge on a client’s record and daily life.
