Suspended/Revoked License Lawyers

Driving with a suspended or revoked license is usually a misdemeanor. Under some circumstances, a conviction for driving with a suspended or revoked license requires the court to impose minimum terms of community service or imprisonment. Furthermore, certain types of driving with a suspended or revoked license charges may be prosecuted as felonies. A conviction for driving with a suspended or revoked license may cause the Secretary of State, under certain circumstances, to lengthen an existing suspension. The Illinois Vehicle Code contains a number of mandatory and discretionary suspensions for many traffic related offenses.

Traffic charges such as these are quite common, but nevertheless potentially very serious. Our attorneys will carefully examine the client’s driving record (abstract) to determine whether the license is suspended or revoked, as well as to determine how many suspensions or revocations appear. Although some defendants have only one problem on their license, other may have literally dozens of suspensions and revocations. In our experience, we have found that it is vitally important to attempt to remedy as many problems as possible before we take the client in front of a Judge. Many times, fixing license problems ahead of time has meant the difference between a good deal and jail to our clients.

Mitchell S. Sexner & Associates LLC will look at the client’s driving abstract free of charge to examine all of the possible options and to discuss these choices with our client. We would like to help our client’s avoid serious consequences on the pending ticket, but we also would like to help fix the client’s driver’s license, so that this never happens again.

Mitchell S. Sexner is a former Assistant States Attorney prosecutor who has also worked for the Secretary of State and Clerk of the Circuit Court. Accordingly, we have a wealth of knowledge about how each case is best handled. Our other affiliated traffic defense attorneys bring equally important experience to the table. This allows us to anticipate the prosecutor’s strategy and plan our defense wisely.
