Convincing the Secretary of State

If you have had your driver's license revoked or suspended, you know that convincing the state to return it will not be easy. Illinois is one of the most aggressive states when it comes to keeping >multiple DUI offenders off the road. You need a local Joliet license reinstatement lawyer to guide you through this process.

Preparation for a License Reinstatement Hearing

There are many issues that need to be addressed both prior to a hearing and also during the hearing itself. As you get ready for your hearing, a thorough review of the following is required:

• A review of your driving record addressing:
  • License suspensions or revocations
  • All DUIs in Illinois and out of state as well
  • Eligibility for relief (RDP, BAIID, multiple DUI offender, full license reinstatement)
• A review of treatment for alcohol or drug abuse:
  • All available documentation showing that treatment has been completed
  • Out-of-date evaluations (evaluations are only good for six months)
  • New or updated evaluations if a previous evaluation is more than six months old

What to Expect During the Hearing

A hearing officer may require you to provide testimony regarding all DUI offenses. You may need to answer questions about:

• Details relating to DUI arrests and convictions, as well as any other alcohol or drug-related offenses
• Past drinking patterns and current alcohol or drug usage (if applicable)
• Lifestyle changes showing that you are avoiding unsafe activities
• Information showing that you are unlikely to relapse (if applicable)
