Skilled, Determined Chicago-Area Driver's License Reinstatement Advocacy
Once your Illinois driver's license is revoked for any reason, there is absolutely nothing "automatic" about earning your driving privilege back. Meeting minimum requirements for reinstatement is only the beginning on the road to reinstatement, and approaching the necessary Secretary of State Administrative Hearing with anything less than rigorous preparation and highly skilled legal representation is a recipe for failure.
If you have lost your driving privilege as the result of a DUI (driving under the influence) charge or multiple traffic violations — or if you were recently arrested or ticketed and know your license is on the line — contact our focused defense and reinstatement lawyer Elroy C. (Sandy) Sandquist now. A former Prosecutor and Hearing Officer, Mr. Sandquist handled more than 1,000 hearings for the state. Today he applies that invaluable knowledge in vigorously representing people who want to drive legally again.
An All-Out Approach to Preparing for and Handling Administrative Hearings
Driver's license revocation is different from suspension in critical ways. Merely waiting out the revocation period is only one of many requirements for reinstatement and may unduly delay the very thing you are seeking, restoration of full driving privileges. Completing other court-ordered steps including an alcohol/drug evaluation and treatment is also just the beginning of demonstrating that you have taken all of the necessary steps to ensure that you will not repeat the mistakes you have made in the past.
If you wait too long to begin preparing your case — or try to handle it on your own or with an inexperienced lawyer — you could end up waiting forever for your license. We will go the full distance to:
- Thoroughly assess your case, analyze your reinstatement challenge and educate you on all aspects of the hearing process
- Pursue whatever level of driving privilege is available to you under the law at the earliest possible opportunity — whether a restricted "hardship" permit or full reinstatement of your license once eligible
- Guide you through as many mock hearings and other learning activities as necessary to give your case for reinstatement the best possible chance of success
- Counsel and represent you as either an area resident or an out-of-state driver coping with the effects of a revocation in Illinois
