Your current state is Virginia
Yes. There are some excellent attorneys on this list who specialize in drivers license reinstatement in the Chicago area.
Unless you have 4 or more convictions for DUI yes you can. First you have to resolve the driving while revoked ticket. Then you will have to have a hearing with the Illinois Secretary of State. There’s a long process to getting ready for that and you should consider retaining an attorney.
Will I serve all 58 days? If so, how many is likely??
If you have any pre-sentence confinement credit, that will reduce your sentence (unless that credit has already been applied). The sheriff can also award you reductions based on policies and programs established by the sheriff for county jail inmates.
I am working here in Kentucky until March.
Do the accelerated alcohol classes while you’re still here in Kentucky.
I am from PA but was driving through Ohio. I stopped at a gas station and while pumping gas I found a strange package. I was unsure of what it was but my curiosity took over and i grabbed it, throwing it in the trunk of my car.
I was already driving with marijuana and marijuana... Read more »
You should hire an attorney. There are several problems with your defense. First, ownership is not the issue. Possession is. Second, just because you're clean also doesn't mean your not guilty of the possession charge. It is illegal to possess these drugs whether you use them or not. Fortunately,... Read more »
Told there was additional jail time because I decided to fight it in criminal Court, and if I don't take the guilty plea and still found guilty I will have to finish my 48hrs and have more time added? bac wasn't over.20 so what am I looking at 7 days minimum. I know the max
You already know...7 days to serve, on a 11 mo/29 day Sentence. But you also have all the First Offense DUI requirements which are extensive and expensive. At Criminal Court you can file Motions, like Suppression, Discovery, Bifurcated Trial, etc. Giving BAC was a mistake, but maybe consent... Read more »
legal but not helpful.
we encounter that all the time and have to call the police, DA or court for confirmation of dates.
You need to ask a South Carolina attorney but very likely at this point - paying it will not be enough.
When it became time for what she thought was to get her license back, she was told that she needed to have an interlock device installed on her car. At that time, we were not married and she did not have a car. Time passed and she never got her license back and she has been without one ever since.... Read more »
GREAT QUESTION
An Interlock may be required, irrespective of the passage of time. DMV in North Carolina tends to be a bit of a stickler on this point.
The expiration of time often does not matter to them.
The condition of an IID for a Conditional Restoration with DMV is... Read more »

I would like to pay them off however I have a warrant for my arrest because of those fines. Right now at my job we are on mandatory 7 days if I miss... Read more »
Not enough information. I don't know whether you are talking about traffic fines, misdemeanor fines, and costs, or felony. I don't know your prior history, whether you have a long record of cases and failure to appear. Many factors enter the equation. Don't mess around. Hire an attorney and... Read more »
It was my first offense. I've heard of cases where they offer a clean record after completing court appointed classes and fines. I was not offered this. Is there anyway to fix this now?
Possibly. If you received a withhold of adjudication on the reckless, you may be eligible for a record sealing. Contact an attorney to discuss your options. It's a simple process to look up your case online.
An Uncontested Resokution is when the parties agree on way to conclude the charges in such a way that makes sense. However, he best way to reach the best agreement is to have an experienced attorney on your side who knows your rights and how to properly defend you.
My name wasn't on the title of his car. It was a DUI.
If you were not the owner or driver of the car, it is difficult or impossible to understand the legal theory that one would use to hold you accountable. If you were present in the car, had an obligation to prevent him from driving, and did not, or encouraged him in some fashion, there may be some... Read more »
I have a guilty plea with supervision until 05/30/2020, recorded on 05/29/2019. I was given a ticket for a headlight being out, and driving on a suspended. I had a lawyer but then took a position for the state and was unable to represent me anymore. He said something about paying a reinstatement... Read more »
You can always hire another lawyer.
It sounds as though you are suspended simply because you did not pay the $250 reinstatement fee; in other words, the time on your suspension has run. Paying the fee would, if that is correct, give you valid privileges which will may help with the ticket.... Read more »
The revocation will depend specifically on how you were charged. There are mitigating penalties if you are charged with an “underage” OWI as opposed to an “adult” OWI, for lack of better terms. You should call an attorney. Have your citation available. I do provide free consultations, if... Read more »
Was convicted 6 years ago and im currently on mail out reports where I report every 3 months. Had this problem for years but as I'm getting older it has progressively got worst, where I need to seek medical help.. worried about taking the prescription because I know probation officers can be tough...

Take the prescription to your probation officer and you should not have a problem. If your PO does have an issue, call your attorney. Good luck.
If the breath test report does not include the test subjects name or any of the identification information the report request to be completed by the officer filling in the data fields for the breath test operation and report... is it admissible in court? Report had no mention of who the test... Read more »
There should be other identifying information on the report such as the date and time the test was taken, where the test was taken, if not the name of the subject - then the DL # for the subject who provided the test. Additionally, many would have video surveillance of the area where the test was... Read more »
My court is coming up February 2020, if convicted and have 48 hours mandatory jail time do I get credit for time served, or is there a way to not get jail time just probation,I have no criminal record and have started alcohol counseling
It will depend entirely on the nature of your detention and the facts of your case. Were the 24 hours that you "stayed" in jail in anticipation of your arraignment? In which court is your case set? (i.e. "Metro Court" in Albuquerque?). Have you contacted an attorney? These answer to these... Read more »

They need a valid arrest to search the car. Once they arrest you, they can inventory the car to make sure they document everything in there to keep it safe. This is going to be a very fact intensive suppression issue.
I was on vacation and was charged with dui but immediately released. I honestly forgot about it for years but now I have to get my license and Ohio has a hold. I assume I have to come and turn myself in. I consulted with one lawyer who said he could get this resolved in probably 1 hearing as I am... Read more »
Yeah, you have to deal with it in Ohio. Hire the best lawyer that you can afford , but if you are homeless then look for free representation through the Public Defender or other free lawyer services up there.
