Losing your license to drive can be galling and embarrassing. You have to take public transportation to and from work. You also have to rely on friends and family members to give you rides to run errands and go to appointments.
Instead of waiting out the period before your driving privileges are given back, you can petition the court to reinstate them earlier. You may win your case by retaining an experienced driver’s license reinstatement lawyer in Illinois to represent you.
Making a Solid Argument
When you have a lawyer on retainer, you can make a solid argument for why you deserve to have your privileges given back to you. You may have taken steps on your own to reform your behavior and learn how to drive safer. You want to show the judge that you took the initiative to change the way that you behave behind the wheel.
Your lawyer can present the judge with certificates of anger, driving, or drug rehabilitation programs that you completed. He or she can ask the judge for leniency, particularly if it is your first offense and have no prior infractions on your traffic record.
Your attorney can also argue that you need your license back so you can take care of your family and drive your family to and from places. You can learn more about hiring a driver’s license reinstatement lawyer in Illinois by contacting Johnson & Goldrich P.C. online.
