Ken Poris

Ken Poris recently received advanced level training, from the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys, on how to fight the results of the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) Test when it is conducted inside a patrol car. Ken received training on the many reasons why an officer cannot properly administer the HGN Test on a driver when both the driver and the officer are seated inside the patrol car. This training was provided to Association Members by Travis Jones. Mr. Jones is an AAPDA Field Sobriety Testing and Breath Testing Expert Member of the Association. Mr. Jones’ office is located in St. Peters, MO.

The American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys has compiled information from Judges, Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutors (the Top DUI Prosecutors in each State), DUI Prosecutors, current Law Enforcement Officers, former Law Enforcement Officers, and DUI Defense Attorneys to determine exactly what skills, knowledge, training, tools, resources, and strategies win the most DUI cases at trial and are also used to get DUI cases successfully resolved for the defense prior to trial.

When people need a DUI Attorney, the biggest challenge is knowing whether or not an attorney truly has the skills, knowledge, training, tools, resources, and strategies that are needed to successfully resolve and win DUI cases. Countless attorneys handle DUI cases. But, only a very small percentage have the skills, knowledge, training, tools, resources, and strategies that are needed to successfully resolve and win DUI cases.

Members of the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys have received advanced level training on the strategies that win the most DUI cases at trial and are also used to get DUI cases successfully resolved for the defense prior to trial. Members of the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys also have access to the resources and tools that are used to win and successfully resolve DUI cases and these are resources and tools that only a very small percentage of DUI attorneys have access to and use.

 

Ken has appeared and argued cases in the Illinois Circuit, Appellate, and Supreme Courts.  Few Attorneys have appeared and argued cases in Supreme Court.  Ken has twice appeared and argued cases before the Illinois Supreme Court.

Ken is a member of the Illinois Bar Association and its Criminal Law, Family Law, and Real Estate sections.

He is also a member in the DuPage County Bar Association (the 2nd largest county bar association in the state).

Up to date and cutting edge legal knowledge is critical for your defense.  Ken Poris stays current by attending ongoing state-wide legal education.  He receives monthly bulletins and is regularly updated on breaking developments in the law.

AAPDA does not guarantee or imply the competence level of any attorney, whether or not they are a member of AAPDA. When hiring an attorney, a person should personally contact the attorney and confirm the attorney’s skills, knowledge, training, tools, resources, strategies and other credentials. Any decision to hire an attorney should be based on a person’s satisfaction, after contacting the attorney, that the attorney hired is who they feel comfortable with and want to represent them. The specific outcome of each DUI case cannot be anticipated or guaranteed by AAPDA, or anyone else, as many factors can affect the outcome of each individual case.
