Bloomington/Normal Suspended License Attorney
An Illinois motorist who receives a conviction for a DUI offense will have their driver's license revoked for an indefinite period; however, for at least one year. Nevertheless, the driver may apply for a Restricted Driving Permit (RDP) if they can provide proof that a hardship exists, provide a current professional alcohol/drug evaluation and, when appropriate, provide proof of remedial education or treatment. When a person with a DUI conviction becomes eligible to have their driving privileges reinstated, they will have to go through the established process to get the license back. You will need to prove to the court that you are no longer a hazard to public safety.
Normal and Bloomington License Reinstatement Attorney
This process can involve various parts, depending on your alcohol/drug evaluation classification as being either a:
- Minimal risk
- Moderate or significant risk
- High risk
You may have to do different things to reinstate your license. For example, if you are classified as being a high risk to re-offend, you will need to provide additional evidence. This generally includes letters and documentation to prove that for 12 consecutive months you have abstained from alcohol/drugs entirely.
You may also need at least three independent sources that have assisted you in your rehabilitation. This can include Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or individuals who have monitored your recovery.
We guide clients through the process of acquiring the proper documentation that will be needed in the hearing. We thoroughly prepare each case to ensure that there are no surprises at the hearing and every detail is covered before.
We accompany the client to the secretary of state's office in Springfield, Chicago, Mt. Vernon or Joliet, Illinois. You will have someone by your side throughout the hearing, offering guidance and support.
