License fully reinstated after 25+

At the end of 2018 I decided to try to get my license back. I had been without a Driver’s License for over 25 years and although I had tried in the past to regain my driving privileges a few times over the years but a combination of poor representation and my own confusion about the process stymied m...y efforts. So naturally when I decided to try one last time to regain my driving privileges at the end of 2018 I was going to be sure to hire the right lawyer. I sent out a few requests for information and Jennifer was the first to respond back. I spent five minutes on the phone with her and knew right away she was the right person to help. Throughout the whole process she was excellent! Jennifer explained how the process worked and how the law applied to my case, correcting some false assumptions on my part, showing me that it wasn’t as hopeless as I thought. I followed Jennifer’s counsel and when we arrived at the hearing it was so unlike my previous experiences that the experience was a pleasure. The result was a full reinstatement of my driving privileges. If you need an attorney to help you through a Secretary of State’s hearing I would not consider anyone else. If I could give a 10 star rating I would!

Ms.

Jennifer Wirth is an outstanding lawyer, 5 stars on every aspect. To say she is extremely competent would be an understatement. You want competent, that is a given, but if you want more than able, Jennifer is the one you want. She is thorough and an expert in her field. Lawyers are expensive, ev...erybody knows that, but I would say in hiring Jennifer, it was not only money well spent, because of her success with my personal case, but her track record of success. Also her fees are very reasonable, what is more is that she sees you through start to finish, and in that sense, a definite bargain! The amount of time and effort she expends, as well as her skill level means you are getting a big bang for your buck! What's more is her accessibility, attention, friendliness, and ability to connect. You don't hire a lawyer to gain a friend, you want someone who will represent you and bring about the best possible outcome - you will get that from Jennifer, but you will feel like you have one of your best friends going to bat for you as an added bonus. When you see her interacting with other clients, and the judges, you realize that she is a team builder, and has a winning strategy. I am very grateful to Jennifer, and cannot say enough good things about her! Absolute highest, stellar recommendation!

Outstanding!!!!

From start to finish, Jennifer was amazing to work with! She was attentive to every detail of my case, easy to talk to and easy to get in contact with. There were never any surprise fees and she worked around my schedule. Jennifer put me on the fast track to get my license back and I could not be ...more appreciative. If you lost your license and want it back quickly, I would highly recommend hiring Jennifer!!!

Best Lawyer To Get Your Driving Privileges Back Hands Down!!!!

I have been without a valid drivers license in IL for over 10 years. I tried to obtain it once using a lawyer in 2014. That ended up not working out at all, and I pretty much gave up after such a horrible experience. I then decided to try once more in 2017. I called several lawyers this time, and ...asked questions. Jennifer called me back promptly, and answered every question in detail and went above and beyond answering the questions I had. I ended the call feeling that she really had a passion for this and without a doubt an expert. I then went in to meet her in person after choosing to see her first from my list of lawyers, and she went over everything in great detail. I then decided to hire her, and didn't bother with meeting with any other attorneys. Best decision ever! I had already been denied at a hearing with my prior attorney, which Jennifer brought up some issues that might come up because of my previous attorneys ill preparation. Regardless she got everything set up, got all my paperwork set up and straightened out which my previous attorney had muddled up, so it was extra work on her part. During this whole process I regained faith in the system. At my first hearing with her, I felt confident, and prepared. She had informed me of what the outcome will more than likely be, and she was right. I was granted an RDP (Full reinstatement was a hopeful wish at this point). So less than a year later while on the permit, I for sure hired her again to represent me again at my third hearing ( second with Jennifer). Just like the first time, everything was like clockwork. She got everything ready, explaining everything along the way, and preparing me for my third and final hearing. She explained this hearing was going to be different, and it went exactly as she described. About two months after my hearing, I now have my full unrestricted drivers license in hand. I know for sure I would not have been able to do this without her help. Do not settle for second rate lawyers in this matter. If you are revoked, and need your license back, I myself personally would guarantee you that she will get it back for you. She is always available for any questions. If you call her, she will answer, or call you back. There is never any time she will ignore you, or that you will not hear from her if you need to. Most importantly she genuinely seems to love doing this. It is a passion for her, and if you hire her, you will see that. Other lawyers I have used, or talked to, treat you as a dollar sign or do not know what they are doing. Other lawyers will put you on a conveyer belt and run you through the process. Jennifer will work with you and treat you as a person. Most importantly she will get your license back. After using her services, I know that in the Chicago land area there is no way there can be a better attorney for this. This is life changing for me and am so happy and appreciative for her services. There is no way I would be driving without her help. If you are looking to get your license back, and don't know who to use, trust this review, and obtain her services. You will be driving soon!

Jennifer Wirth helped me get back my revoked driving privileges. From my day one consultation until my last meeting appearance with the Secretary of State , she provided me with all facts I needed to have to be prepared.’ Information she provided prior to meetings allowed me to able to answer questi...ons completely and accurately. I recommend her services for any legal representation required for DUI and other alcohol related license issues. Her fees I found to be slightly lower than other attorneys would provided similar services. She is easily accessible and returns all calls and e-mails promptly. I strongly recommend her services and would hire her again if ever needed again.

"I have been acquainted with Jennifer Wirth as both a colleague and friend for many years. She is particularly recognized for her excellence in Driver’s License Reinstatement Hearings. She was originally recommended to me by a Senior Hearings Officer, himself an experienced attorney, employed by the Illinois Secretary of State, to adjudicate reinstatement for drivers who lost their license due to DUI. Jennifer is also respected for her direction and guidance to other lawyers in the field. I give Attorney Jennifer Wirth my highest recommendation."

"Driver's license reinstatement is a very complex area of the law. There are relatively few lawyers who represent people at Secretary of State hearings on a regular basis. It is important that you find a lawyer who does appear at those hearings often. I get calls from throughout the state, and often potential clients in the Chicago area do not want to travel to Southern Illinois, where I practice. I refer them to Jennifer without reservation. She is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and responsive to her clients' needs. If your license is revoked, give her a call. You'll be happy that you did."

"It is my pleasure to endorse Jennifer's skills as an attorney who practices in the area of Illinois Secretary of State driver's license reinstatement. I personally have been in this field of law since 1991 and have had the opportunity to observe many different lawyers representing revoked Illinois drivers. Jennifer stands out as one of only a handful of attorneys that I would consider an "expert" in this highly technical and difficult area of practice; (even though as lawyers we are not supposed to use the "e" word) She is certainly is that and her dedication to truly helping her clients regain driving privileges is evident by her vey high success rate in a forum where many lawyers believe 50-50 is an acceptable batting average. The difference, of course, as in most areas of the practice of law is preparation together with a genuine desire to do the best legal work possible for a client. Jennifer is all that and more."
