Springfield, IL asked in Traffic Tickets for Illinois

Q: can I get Court supervision on a driving on suspended lic. If i had a previous DOSL ticket 13 years ago

My license was suspended 3 months for a no insurance ticket. I just got caught driving on suspended license for that ticket. I'm wondering if I can get Court supervision on this driving on suspended ticket. I've had another driving on suspended license but it's been 13 years since that happened.

A: It may be possible to get court supervision due to the basis of your suspension (insurance). Of course, there's no guarantee. A conviction would go on your public record and extend the existing suspension. Speak to a local attorney who practices in the courthouse where your case in pending.

A: Assuming your prior was not due to a DUI or a Statutory Summary Suspension, you should be eligible for Court Supervision but without an attorney, your odds of receiving Court Supervision are decreased. You need to hire an attorney to assist you with this matter right away.
