Illinois DUI License Suspensions Video:

Illinois automatically suspends your driver’s license if a chemical analysis indicates that your blood alcohol level (BAC) is at least .08%. It also provides for a longer suspension, if the officer asks and you refuse to take the test. Illinois presumes that drivers using Illinois public roads implicitly consent to the testing. A Notice of Statutory Summary Suspension will either be tendered by the officer or mailed. In most situations, you will receive a 45 day temporary permit until the suspension becomes effective. Steven H. Fagan, a practicing DUI attorney in Cook County, can help you keep your driving privileges.

Chicago area attorney Steve Fagan will take the time to learn about the details of your suspension. Contact him immediately because you only have 90 days from the date of your Notice of Suspension to file a Petition to Rescind the Statutory Summary Suspension. In Cook County and most nearby areas, DUI attorney Steven Fagan can file the petition on your behalf.

When completing the Petition to Rescind the Statutory Summary Suspension, Mr. Fagan will indicate why the suspension should be rescinded. Valid reasons related to the officer’s conduct are improper arrest, no reasonable grounds to assume driving under the influence, or the officer did not follow certain procedures. Additionally, you can dispute refusing the test or indicate that the blood sample did not indicate your blood level was .08% or more.

Upon receipt of the petition, the court must give you a hearing within 30 days or the next possible business day. If the court does not provide a timely court date or the officer is not available, you can win your case. If the case is won either by a technical reason or based on court findings, the judge signs an Order to Rescind and sends it to the Secretary of State.

Choosing a Chicago attorney experienced with filing the paperwork and representing clients at a judiciary hearing to rescind a license suspension can help you retain your license. Steve Fagan’s experience and personal touch representing clients will provide the quality representation you need.
