-- Driver Defense Team, Chicagoland's premier trial law firm for Illinois drivers, today announced the release of their new eBook, "How to Get Your License Back After DUIs: The Ultimate Guide to Illinois Secretary of State Reinstatement Hearings."
This step-by-step guide combines the knowledge and experience of a 30-strong team of attorneys and legal professionals who have helped hundreds of Illinois residents get back on the road after having their license revoked — sometimes for years or even decades.
"I talk to people all the time who have gone 20, even 30, years without a license," says Derek Martin, Partner and Co-Founder of the firm. "And we get why. The whole process poses a lot of questions with very few answers, and it's usually a lot easier to put it off. For less than the cost of lunch, we give people the answers they need. We've held nothing back."
Demystifying Driver Revocation in Illinois
In Illinois, driving is considered a privilege, not a right. This key distinction means the Secretary of State can take away a driver's license if they pose a threat to public safety.
This can happen in many situations, including accumulating too many traffic violations, committing a serious offense, or neglecting financial responsibilities, such as failing to pay child support.
Just as the Secretary of State can take away someone's license, they can give it back, but the process can be complicated. Drivers will need to attend a formal or an informal hearing, answer questions, and prove there is no threat to public safety if driving privileges are reinstated.
Additional requirements, such as completing a treatment program and drug and alcohol evaluation, and getting high-risk insurance, may also apply.
What many people don't realize is that the Secretary of State will allow them to go through the entire process of gathering evidence and attending a hearing even if they are not legally eligible.
By following the advice given in ‘How to Get Your License Back’, drivers can avoid the stress and wasted time of attending a reinstatement hearing when the only possible outcome is that the request will be denied.
The book covers every aspect of license reinstatement in Illinois, sharing all the secrets and tips from attorneys who exclusively deal with driving issues:
- How to determine if eligible (and what to do if not)
- How to get a copy of a driving abstract and step-by-step instructions on how to read it
- An in-depth explanation of the different types of hearings... and which is right for each individual
- The exact questions the Secretary of State will ask (and how to answer them)
- How all those old tickets from back in the day can influence the Secretary of State's decision, and how to clean them up before a hearing.
More Than an Inconvenience
Having a license revoked can affect a person's entire life. For many, driving is essential for employment. Public transport and ridesharing services can be a short-term fix, but they're not financially sustainable in the long run. Public transport isn’t even an option for those who transport tools or work across multiple locations.
Then, there's the strain on family relationships. What begins as a spouse or older child being happy to help out turns into becoming a burden.
Derek continues, "Many clients tell us about the strain their license revocation has placed on their spouses, children, or other family members who have been tasked with driving them everywhere. Over time, this can cause tension and resentment within a household. For many people, this is a key motivator to start the process of getting their license back.
"With this book, we're putting the power back in drivers' hands so they can get their licenses back — without the cost of hiring a lawyer."
