was arrested for dui but not convicted, completed state requirments and one year probation
answered on Mar 23, 2021
If you were placed on probation, you were convicted. If you were placed on supervision, you were not convicted. The supervision will be visible only to law-enforcement and the Secretary of State and the states attorney. And once the statutory summary suspension has terminated, it will not be... Read more »
Since my dui hearing illinois is full of it they sent me a letter for a 1 year suspension 2019 to 2020 and now they added 2 more years I'm not an attorney but I don't believe this is legal

Not really sure what your question is here because you do not ask one. If you believe the suspension is a mistake, you need to consult with an attorney right away. The sooner you do so, the better.
And received a speeding and driving on suspended the driving was paid and thrown out now illinois wants to give me a 3 year suspension what can I do
answered on Mar 4, 2021
From your question, it appears that you received a DUI in Illinois, your second one within five years, and refused the breath test. That resulted in a three year suspension to start out with.
Now Florida has reported to Illinois that you were driving. That violates the driving while... Read more »

Because it is a criminal offense (with a mandatory court appearance), having an attorney is recommended. Aggravated speeding 26-34 mph over the limit is a class b misdemeanor. Technically, it is punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a $1500 fine. Depending on certain factors, it may be possible... Read more »

I was heading to a park to park for safety and sleep it off, it’s my first offense and have no other record besides paying a open vodka bottle citation two weeks back. I’m 21

You are legally eligible for supervision. If you can, you should have a lawyer to increase the chances you will receive supervision and also negotiate the best outcome possible.
I got a first offense DUI. Blew close to 3x over the limit and got into an accident. No one was hurt and I was charged with a misdemeanor. A month later, the person I hit filed a personal injury claim. Does this mean my misdemeanor be upgraded to a felony?
answered on Oct 23, 2020
The Personal Injury law suit is not going to cause your DUI to be upgraded. If you did not have valid insurance or a valid driver's license at the time, it could be upgraded to a Felony offense. This is something you should be discussing with your attorney. If you have not hired an attorney... Read more »

You need to discuss this with a Wichita, Kansas, attorney. The sooner you do this, the better.

If you are not happy with your attorney, you should hire a new attorney. The sooner you hire another attorney, the better. Make sure to tell your potential new attorney, what issues you had with your last attorney so the same issues do not come up.
I successfully completed my court ordered alcohol program,and before that my case worker never mention a due balance to me not even on the last day we saw each other.

This is very simple to verify. Contact the Circuit Court Clerk in the County where you case was and ask them if you owe any fees. The Clerk will be able to check their system and tell you what is owed.

It is unclear from your questions whether the hold is in Illinois of Florida. I suggest that you call the Illinois DMV at 217-782-7065, give his Illinois drivers license number and ask what the hold is about and where it is from. Beware, they are closed now due to COVID and it may take awhile... Read more »

You are not required to answer any questions but you cannot resist arrest.
And if dismissed, could I get the related dui charge dropped?
answered on Mar 10, 2020
No, speeding is speeding. You really should hire an attorney to assist you. DUI is not something you can handle on your own. Hire an attorney now.
I did not blow but blood was taken

It would be best for you to speak with your attorney in North Carolina who should be able to explain the delay and options at this point. As the case in pending in North Carolina, you may want to submit this question under NC rather than IL to receive responses from attorneys licensed in that state.
I already had a warrant and went to jail. Now I have to go to court for contempt. I paid my bond to get out until my court date. I also paid an extra $50 towards my fine directly after I got out of jail. What else can I do to stay out of jail?
answered on Feb 23, 2020
Call the attorney that assisted you with the DUI. If you had a Public Defender, you can try contacting them. You really should hire an attorney to appear in court with you to increase your chances of staying out of jail. The sooner you hire an attorney, the better.

It depends on the agency where it was completed. If it is the designated agency for the specific county where your DUI is pending, it should be sent directly to court. For example, if it was Central States Institute in Cook County, they will send a copy directly to the courtroom on your next court... Read more »
I lost my paper work for the case
answered on Feb 17, 2020
Some of the paperwork can be created or another agency can do it instead. You will need to have an administrative hearing with the secretary of state. I recommend that you contact Attorney Larry Davis for drivers license reinstatement in your geographic area
Will I need to have another evaluation done?
answered on Feb 4, 2020
If you are asking about an evaluation for a SOS hearing, it's six months. You want to do your classes first not only to make sure your update is current but also to incorporate any new information after completing classes.
