DUI
It is a crime for a driver to operate a vehicle while impaired by the effects of alcohol or drugs. The specific offense is called “driving under the influence” (DUI). DUI arrests are serious and can have severe consequences. If received, it is important to contact an attorney from Cartwright Law to help you fight any charges and possibly reduce your penalties.

TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS
These occur when the operators of cars, trucks and motorcycles violate laws that regulate vehicle operation on streets and highways— including speed limits, traffic signals, and reckless driving statutes.

REINSTATEMENT OF DRIVING PRIVELEGES
Having your Illinois driver’s license suspended is a serious matter. It is essential to adhere to Illinois Law in the event that your license is suspended. If you receive a notice of suspension and you wish to challenge the suspension, you may request a hearing in court. An administrative law judge or a hearing officer will hear your case, and determine, whether your driver’s license should be suspended or not. Once you have completed your suspension period, you can get your license back.

Most individuals issued a traffic ticket may believe they do not need an attorney or think it is not worth the hassle. However, every ticket has the potential to adversely affect your driving priveleges.
