Q: my son is getting the run around in getting his license back,he has went through all he needed to do
He was given a dui from VIrginia,which shouldn't of been a dui his papers show he was under the legal limit.he had to give up his license in Illinois,he's been through counsiling and had informal hearing.now Illinois doesn't want to give them back to him. this is his first offense
A: He will need to file for a hearing. The hearing will be either formal or informal. He may be required to undergo AODA alcohol treatment prior to the SOS granting him driving relief. Even if the charge was his first he could have received a conviction. Different states treat 1st offense DUI charges differently. Some states don't allow for a deferred disposition on the first offense such as Illinois does. If they are convicted of the offense it results in a revoked license in Illinois.
