Drivers License Suspension and Revocations

The Illinois Secretary of State’s Office has undergone sweeping changes over the last 30 years, primarily due to the increased enforcement of DUI laws. As a result, there has been a substantial increase in the number as well as length of driver’s license revocations and suspensions. Changes in public attitudes toward alcohol and drug related driving offenses have also led to stricter regulations and policies implemented by the Secretary of State’s Office. This had made it increasingly difficult for the average person to obtain the restoration of driving privileges through an administrative hearing.

A person seeking driving privileges after suspension or revocation must apply for an informal or formal hearing before the Secretary of State (if your driver’s license has been suspended or revoked due to excessive moving violations, please click here). Obtaining a favorable decision is not guaranteed by any means, especially without experienced legal representation.

Secretary of State administrative hearings are held under complex and often confusing State laws and administrative rules. With our extensive experience and customized approach, we prepare you thoroughly and guide your case through every step of the Secretary of State process.

He has authored numerous legal articles on the Office of the Secretary of State for attorneys.

He has also testified before the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee to Secretary of State Jesse White and an advisory committee to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
