In 2002, Donald J. Ramsell became the only Illinois DUI defense attorney to appear and argue a DUI case before the United States Supreme Court in its entire 213 years of existence. In 2007, Mr. Ramsell was nominated and honored to become a Sustaining Member of the National College for DUI Defense. In 2006, he successfully fought and obtained orders compelling the ISP Breath Testing Section to begin downloading and turning over the internal memory of the breath testing machines, which has revealed numerous errors in breath testing equipment being used across Illinois. In May 2005, Chicago Magazine© named Mr. Ramsell an “Illinois Super Lawyer.” He has been so identified again in 2006 and 2007. Also in 2005, Mr. Ramsell became the first Illinois attorney ever to become board certified in the area of DUI Defense under the American Bar Association’s standards, through the National College for DUI Defense. In 2004, the Chicago Sun Times identified Mr. Ramsell as one of the top five DUI defense attorneys in the State of Illinois. In 1999, after a two-year investigation, Mr. Ramsell discovered that the Department of Public Health had failed to perform critical testing on breath testing equipment, causing test results to be suppressed across the state. Later that same year, the IDPH was forced to turn over control of the entire program to the state police. In 1998, Mr. Ramsell successfully proved that the Intoxilyzer 5000 breath testing instrument software had been rigged to produce false negative air blank results, causing all breath tests using that model to become inadmissible in the State of Illinois. In 1988, Mr. Ramsell discovered that the statewide breath-testing program was falsifying testing documents, again causing thousands of tests to become suspect. In 1986, he discovered that the statewide breath-testing program was using questionable procedures in certifying breathalyzers, causing thousands of tests to become disputed, and forcing immediate changes in the program.

He was president of the DuPage County Bar Association from 2002 to 2003, president of the DuPage County Bar Foundation from 2003 to 2004, and president of the DuPage County Criminal Defense Lawyers Association from 2000 to 2001.
