Illinois Rescission Hearings

DUI / DWI Defense Lawyers

Beating the Breathalyzer

  • Have you been charged with DUI in Illinois?
  • Are you worried about losing your driving privileges?
  • Do you want to keep your drivers license?

Those charged with DUI in Illinois face severe consequences, which may include the loss of driving privileges. We understand that most people need transportation. Our DUI defense lawyers will diligently seek to maintain your driving privileges.

DUI / DWI Rescission Hearings

An individual convicted of DUI may be able to keep his or her drivers license through a DUI / DWI rescission hearing. During a DUI / DWI rescission hearing, license suspension can be contested.

The attorneys at Zuelke & Byrd, L.L.C., are experienced in helping Illinois drivers maintain their driving privileges through DUI / DWI rescission hearings. Contact us to find out more.

Summary Suspension

In Illinois, an individual who fails or refuses a sobriety test will get a summary suspension. The license suspension begins the 46th day after arrest.

However, there is an alternative available to drivers who have gotten a summary suspension. A Petition to Rescind the Statutory Summary Suspension may be an option to override a summary suspension.

Judicial Driving Permit - What Are my Options After a Rescission Hearing?

If the DUI / DWI rescission hearing is lost, there are still options available. Applying for a Judicial Driving Permit is a viable option that may allow an individual to maintain some driving privileges.

A Judicial Driving Permit allows an individual to drive to and from work, school, alcohol treatment and other locations approved by the court. To be eligible for this permit, a license has to be suspended for 30 days. This permit can also be used during a license suspension.

Our attorneys can help you file for a Judicial Driving Permit. Contact us to find out more.
