Larry is the Best

Larry Davis is the one to hire fo dealings with the Illinois Secretary of State office on suspended/revoked driver's license and related matters. He knows the law, the people, the folklore, what can be done and what cannot. He (and his colleagues) are VERY responsive and do a great job for their cl...ients. I am very glad I had Larry and Merrill helping me.

Exceeded my Expectations

I'm a 60 year old tradesman whose previous life was going to the bars after work, weekends etc. Needless to say, I racked-up many DUI's and for a while, wondered if I'd ever drive again. That brought me to the office of Mr. Davis, who's reputation as "The Best in the Business" preceded him. This was... no time to bargain shop for a parachute. Our Saturday morning meeting was all business, where he laid out what he could do for me, providing I comply with his mandates, and how much it would cost. I left his office that day with that "I'm in Good Hands" feeling that I hadn't felt for a while. I did not use Mr. Davis for the criminal end, mistake, for that attorney charged me allot money for minimal results. Although I haven't received my full reinstatement yet, I have been in front of the Sec. of State twice, first to petition for an RDP and the second was for it's extension. It was after the initial hearing that lead me to title this review as I did. I will be scheduled for my final/ full reinstatement hearing this summer [2017] and I'll complete this, or post a new review after that that will conclude this matter. JG

Drivers License Reinstatement

The Davis Law Group got my license reinstated in Illinois after 20+ years of having a lifetime revocation. I live in VT. and thought it would be nearly impossible to do. It was a pleasure to work with Larry and his staff. If you have a complicated case they are the ones for you!

Absolutely the very best choice for D.U.I. legal representation in Illinois.

Finding myself in a situation of having my driver's license revoked for life, it took over (11) eleven years to finally get an opportunity to regain my driving privileges. Having accumulated (6) six D.U.I.'s in my lifetime, I turned to the most honest and professional firm I knew of in the State of ...Illinois; The Davis Law Group, P.C. My last D.U.I. was handled by this firm, so this is how I became aware of Mr. Davis's Law Group. My outlook had been one of resignation, that I would never drive again. Then came that magical moment when the State of Illinois drafted the the new law allowing those with multiple D.U.I.'s (4) four or more, another chance to get their license back, that is as long as you didn't want to drive in Illinois. Fortunately, I had moved to Michigan and have resided there for the last (11) eleven years, still without a license. Remaining skeptical, right up to the final decision, I was introduced to the Davis Law Group's secret weapon; Larry's daughter Merrill, an attorney herself. Through Merrill's unstoppable diligence and intelligence, she did much of the leg work for Larry. I am certain of one thing, without her there it is a good possibility I may not be writing this endorsement. For many, many weeks I was on the phone with her, several times a day. My voice had become recognizable to Larry's whole staff and my calls were transferred to Merrill, without so much as asking for her, or who was calling. The whole process was tedious, yet fulfilling. By the time I showed up for my hearing, Larry had the hearing down to a script from a storybook. I don't believe I was in the hearing for more than an hour. It was more of a question and answer interview than one of the most significant moments of my life. Without any assurance as to how the outcome would be, I left back to Michigan with a air of confidence, with no real basis why. All I knew was that between Larry's demeanor and Merrill's determination, my chances , though quite improbable, seemed like a real possibility. The decision was in my favor and I will soon be driving again; thanks to Larry and his daughter, Merrill! Barry

Larry Davis is a top-notch lawyer.

I chose Larry based on a referral from a retired Judge. Before I met Larry I felt hopeless. I didn't think that I would ever be able to drive again. By the time I left our first meeting I had hope again. Larry made me feel like I deserved to start the process. He believed that he could in fact h...elp me find some driving relief. Larry and his excellent staff helped me every step of the way answering every question I had, and I certainly had plenty. With Larry's representation I have successfully attained a restricted driving permit. It has made a huge impact on the quality of life for myself and my family. I look forward to working with Larry on the next step toward full reinstatement.
