Losing your license can be more than just a pain in the neck; it can have disastrous effects on your life.

The good news? I can help get you back on the road. As a defense attorney I have gained experienced with the Illinois Secretary of State’s office of administrative hearings. This includes helping people save their licenses and get their privileges reinstated. Contact me today for smart advice from an experienced lawyer.

I can help you get your administrative hearing scheduled in a timely manner and help you properly prepare. I will also review your driving history (driving abstract) and give you advice on what to expect from future violations. These hearings are not simple matters. When your license or driving privileges are at stake, you need help, and you need help fast. If you have questions about Illinois driver’s license reinstatement, contact me today.

That’s where having an experienced attorney comes in. I can make sure you know the proper procedures involved, make sure you meet any deadlines for paperwork or requests for hearing, help you properly prepare for your hearing, then personally represent you at your hearing.

Can you fight it? Yes, but you need to know how. First-time DUI offenders may apply to the court for a judicial driving permit (JDP) which would allow them to drive during the suspension (only under certain conditions and when no other form of transportation is available). However, the person must provide the court with a current alcohol and drug evaluation and must prove that a hardship exists.

If you are convicted of DUI, your license will be revoked for a period of time. However, that time can also shortened by hiring an experienced attorney to get your license back. How do you get it back? In Illinois, driver’s license reinstatement after a DUI conviction requires that you first apply with the Secretary of State’s office for a formal hearing. At the Secretary of State Administrative Hearing you must convince the State that you are no longer a threat on the roadways. This may not be easy, and if you fail, you won’t be driving.

The bottom line is this: When your driving privileges are at stake, it makes sense to have an experienced attorney on your side that will fight hard to help you keep your license and get you back on the road.
