I live in Illinois but my DUI was outside of Illinois and now I am revoked

As a drivers license lawyer in Illinois I have represented hundreds of clients who have lost their license from a DUI conviction. In Illinois, the first conviction normally occurs on the second DUI arrest due to the fact that most people are given court supervision on their first arrest. Supervision is not a conviction.
 
 When an Illinois driver is arrested for a DUI in Michigan, Wisconsin or Indiana, they will often be charged with an operating while intoxicated or some other criminal charge that makes them think it is not a DUI arrest or conviction. Often, the attorney in one of those dates will get what they think is a better disposition for their client (and it might be in that state) but in Illinois it will be treated as a conviction when reported to the Illinois Secretary of State.
 
 Even if the arrest for operating while intoxicated is a first arrest, when it is reported to Illinois it comes down as a conviction and will revoke the driving privileges in Illinois. The only way to obtain driving relief after being convicted of a DUI is to obtain an administrative hearing with the Secretary of State also known as a formal or informal hearing.
 
 If you have been arrested or convicted for a DUI in Illinois or any other state and are looking for an attorney who has handled hundreds of successful cases over the years, feel free to contact license reinstatement lawyer John W Callahan and he will answer any of your questions you have.
