Losing my driver’s license in Illinois

Losing your driver's license can make things extremely difficult; a revoked license or a suspended license can leave people in situation where they're unable to drive to work, get groceries from the store, visit friends and family, or do other basic every-day tasks.  Because driving is so important, it's important that you go through all the steps necessary to make sure you get your license reinstated.

In Illinois, licenses can be reinstated in one of two ways: through a formal hearing, or through an informal hearing.  Informal hearings are for people with minor or first-time offenses, and formal hearings are for people with multiple DUI convictions or traffic tickets that resulted in a fatality.  However, “informal” shouldn't be taken to mean “unimportant.”  In both formal and informal hearings, your license reinstatement is dependent on coming in to the hearing well-prepared.  There is important work to be done both before and after the hearing to make sure that your driving rights are restored.  Reinstatement is especially thorny when you're getting around a DUI charge – a full restoration of driving rights could potentially come with court-mandated recovery programs or coursework.

This is where most people need help: experienced license reinstatement lawyers like the attorneys at John W.
