Driving While Suspended or Revoked in Yorkville, Illinois              
Traffic incidents in Yorkvillecan quickly become serious nuisances. We have tried countless                        bench trials and know how to get results for our clients.                     Driving while your license is suspended or revoked (DWLS/R) is a Class A misdemeanor,                           punishable by a maximum possible penalty of up to one year in the county jail and a $2500 fine.                                     There are many reasons one’s license could be suspended, such as too many traffic tickets,                             tollway violations or parking tickets, and the DWLS/R charges are treated similarly.                       If your license is suspended in relation to a DUI or statutory summary suspension, however,                             there are several mandatory sentencing provisions.          
There are two aspects any DWLS/R case:             ● The criminal case of DWLS/R; and           ● The consequences the case may have on your privilege to drive.                    
The Criminal Case    
As mentioned above, DWLS/R is a Class A misdemeanor. DWLS/R charges are notoriously                         difficult to fight in court. All the State needs to show is that you were driving, to which the officer                                       will testify, and that your license was suspended or revoked, which it can do with a certified copy                                  
of your driving record.       The only ways to challenge a DWLS/R case is if the officer lacked a valid, legal reason to pull                                     you over or if no one saw you actually driving, even if you later admitted you were. Because                                   these situations are uncommon, having an attorney that is experienced in negotiating with                         prosecutors, or who knows when you are better off not negotiating at all, is essential.                             DUI & Alcohol-related Suspensions       If your license is revoked from a DUI conviction or if you have a statutory summary suspension                                 (SSS) from being arrested for a DUI, your charge is very serious. If you have had a prior charge                                     of DWLS/R your case can be charged as a felony if it has not been already. Even if this is your                                         first DWLS/R, if you are on an SSS and are eligible for an MDDP (blow-and-go), but chose not                                   to get one, your case can be charged as a felony. If either of these situations applies to you and                                       your case is still charged as a misdemeanor it is vital that you have legal representation.                               It is much easier to convince a prosecutor to not charge you with a felony than it is to convince                                       her to reduce a felony back to a misdemeanor.                 Even if your case is a misdemeanor, there are several mandatory sentencing requirements. For                           example: ● A first offense requires either 10 days in jail or 240 community service hours;                           ● A second offense requires either 30 days in jail or 300 community service hours; and                             ● A third offense mandates 30 days in jail with NO option for community service.                           ● A second offense is a Class 4 felony, but the more prior offenses you have, the higher                                 the class of felony      
The Consequences on your Driver’s License in Illinois               Just like any other misdemeanor, there is a range of sentencing possibilities.                       The sentence you are given has a huge impact on your driving privileges. Specifically, if you                               receive court supervision the impact is minimal; if you receive a conviction (probation or                           conditional discharge) the suspension of your license will be extended by at least three months.                             Even if your license is now valid and you are convicted of DWLS/R, your license will be                                 re-suspended for at least 3 months.          
Speeding Offenses in Yorkville, Illinois        
Normally, speeding is a petty offense. Like with mosttraffic offenses in Yorkville, court                         supervision is an option with a fine and possible traffic school (traffic school is mandatory for                               offenders under 21). If, however, you are speeding more than 25 miles per hour over the posted                                 speed limit, your case is a misdemeanor. Additionally, depending on where you are speeding,                           other mandatory consequences may apply.        
Speeding 26 to 34 mph over the posted speed limit:                  
A recent change in the law makes it a Class B misdemeanor if you are speeding in this range.                                     Furthermore, the law does not allow a sentence of court supervision, so speeding 26-24 over                             the limit is a mandatory misdemeanor conviction. That means a plea or finding of guilty will                               result in a conviction that will appear both on your driving record and on your criminal record.                                 Depending on your driving record, it may be possible to get the charge reduced to a petty                                 offense.
Speeding 35+ mph over the posted speed limit:               A Class A misdemeanor. Like speeding 26-34 over the limit, court supervision is not an option. If                                 you plead guilty or are found guilty it will result in a conviction on your driving and criminal                                   records.
Speeding in a Yorkville School Zone:          
Although this offense is still a Petty Offense, conviction is mandatory, as is a $250 minimum                               fine. The only way to avoid these consequences is for the prosecutor to amend the charge.                              
Speeding in a Construction Zone:        
A Petty Offense, this offense includes a mandatory minimum fine of $375. Two violations within                             two years results in an automatic 90 day suspension of driving privileges.                      
Reckless Driving in Illinois      
It is a common misconception that anyone act will constitute reckless driving, such as driving at                               an extremely high rate of speed. Reckless driving is when a person drives with a total disregard                                 for the safety of persons or property.             Reckless driving is a Class A misdemeanor in most cases. If an accident occurred in which                               anyone was seriously injured it can be charged as a Class 4 Felony. Additionally, multiple                             convictions can result in revocation of your driving privileges.                
Fleeing & Eluding a Police Officer          
A Class A Misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum possible penalty of one year in jail and/or a                                 $2500 fine. Any conviction will result in automatic revocation of driving privileges, although                       supervision is a possible sentencing option. For more information about sentencing, please see                       the Criminal Law page.      
Aggravated Fleeing & Eluding a Police Officer            
A first offense is a Class 4 Felony; a second or subsequent offense is a Class 3 Felony. Court                                     supervision is not a possible sentence in felony cases, so pleading guilty or being found guilty                               will result in the automatic revocation of your driving privileges.                   Fleeing and eluding a police officer becomes “aggravated,” and therefore a felony, when any of                             the following occurs while the offender is fleeing and eluding:                   ● The vehicle was, at any time, traveling 21 miles or more over the posted speed;                             ● bodily harm caused to any individual;           ● Property damage in excess of $300;           ● offender disobeyed two or more traffic control devices; or                
the vehicle involved had a registration plate that was altered or concealed.                      
Passing a School Bus      
A Petty Offense, a conviction is mandatory and will result in an automatic suspension of your                               driving privileges. The only way to avoid the conviction and suspension of driving privileges is                             for the charge is amended by the prosecutor.               Depending on if this is your first or second+ offense, the length of the suspension will vary:                                 ● Suspension of driving privileges for first-time offender is for three months.                     ● Suspension of driving privileges for 2nd or subsequent offense is for five years.                         ● Also subject to minimum fine of $150 for first offense, $500 for second offense.                          
