Attorney answers:
Is court supv. available for a 1st DUI with a prior supv. (26 years ago) for Lvng. the Scene Accd. Death or Personal Injury?
you are eligible to request supervision. However, given that the prior offense is one that causes a mandatory revocation and a hearing with the Secretary of State in order to be reinstated, supervision is far from automatic.

Attorney answers:
I have 3 DUI convictions in Illinois, is there any state that will issue me a license?
So the problem is, what? You are revoked for 10 years. You can apply for a hardship license after one year. The Secretary of State hears about 10,000 of these types of cases every year. Talk to a driver's license reinstatement lawyer in the Chicago area. Moving is not likely to help. Between the Interstate Compact and the National Driver's Registry, you will have a hard time finding a state that will issue a license, and any that would even consider it are going to have a residency...

Attorney answers:
How can they suspend your license for a zero tolerance ticket before you even get your license? He wasn't even driving.
He needs an Investigative evaluation which is a special one for people who have an alcohol related offense on their record but are not revoked for DUI. The original ticket that got him suspended was an illegal consumption ticket, which does not require driving as a ZT does. Then he got caught driving and the Secretary of State not the judge revoked him due to accumulated points. He has turned a minor issue into a big problem. Since he clearly does not understand what is going on, it is highly...

Attorney answers:
What are the consequences of BAIID Violation
Each violation within a single reporting period results in another three months being added to the suspension. No more than two added suspensions can occur in a reporting. So his suspension will be extended by 6 months. His first violation in the next period will result in his vehicle being put in storage for 30 days. On the fourth violation his car will be confiscated and sold. There is no need to respond to Secretary of State unless he has a valid explanation. He needs to stop...

Attorney answers:
Can they revoke my drivers license
This happens from time. to time. The law requires the Sec of State to revoke driving privileges upon receiving a DUI conviction report. There is no time limit. The courts have held that the delay does not harm the driver. You should have been revoked 8 years ago. You have been free to drive for 8 years. You are not harmed by being revoked now instead of then. You will need to have an administrative hearing with the SOS. The fact you paid your fines etc just proves that you met all the...
