Saint Charles, Illinois, Traffic Violations Attorneys
Excessive moving violations can lead to serious consequences for Illinois drivers. The potential penalties include substantial fines, the loss of your driving privileges and even possible impoundment of your car. Many people assume that they cannot fight the violation, and they feel they have no choice but to pay a traffic ticket. It is important to remember that paying the fine is actually an admission of guilt. Depending on the circumstances of your case, it may be possible to have the citation dismissed or negotiated to a lesser offense.
Another option that can be pursued is court supervision. Court supervision is available for up to two moving violations in a 12-month period. It involves fulfilling certain terms and completing certain programs as ordered by the court. Successful completion of court supervision (sometimes known as a diversion program) results in the dismissal of your case without a conviction. A third moving violation in a 12-month period will result in a conviction on your record, however.
If you have received a ticket for any kind of traffic violation, contact a lawyer before you do anything else. At the Saint Charles, Illinois- based law firm of Scott W. Sheen & Associates, P.C., we have helped clients throughout the Chicagoland area to successfully resolve all types of traffic violations including speeding, reckless driving, parking tickets and other matters.
License Suspension, Revocation and Reinstatement
If you are facing charges for Driving While License Suspended (DWLS) or Driving While License Revoked (DWLR), you could be looking at substantial fines, jail time and a very lengthy suspension of your driving privileges. When you hire our firm, we take the time to review your case and determine the reasons behind your license suspension or revocation. If your license was suspended erroneously or for an improper reason, we aggressively fight to get your driving privileges reinstated.
We also work with clients facing difficulties seeking license reinstatement issues. In many cases, all that is needed for reinstatement is correction of the issue that led to license suspension in the first place and payment of the reinstatement fee. We will thoroughly review your case and determine the best course of action to get your license reinstated.
