Driving with a Suspended of Revoked License can have serious consequences depending on the reason your license is suspended or revoked. If it is suspended for DUI there are mandatory minimum fines and jail terms. Each time you are convicted of Driving with a suspend or revoked license the mandatory minimum jail term is increased. In fact a second offense can be charged as a felony and a third a class 2 felony. That means there is a possibility you can be sentenced to serve time in PRISON, not just the local county jail.
In many cases we are able to go in and get the reason for your suspension or revocation off your record. That avoids the long and arduous task of going to formal and informal hearings before the Secretary of State for license reinstatement. It is often a cheaper, more effective way of getting your Driving privileges back.
In order for us to determine what we need to do to get you back on the road, you need to pick up a copy of your driving record from the local Department of Motor Vehicles station. You must ask for a copy of your driver's abstract and tell them it is "for court purposes." Only the driver him or herself can get a Court Purposes abstract. Currently it costs 12 dollars. Once you have that we can talk about getting you back behind the wheel.
If you wish to speak to an experienced attorney about this case, please call me at your convenience. I do not charge for confidential initial telephone consultations and, in most traffic cases, an office visit is not necessary to obtain representation.
