Recent issues in Illinois license reinstatement

I have recently heard from several potential clients who have indicated that they have attorneys in other states who will transfer their Illinois license to the current states license. They are telling people that if they terminate their Illinois license and then plead guilty to a DUI in the state that they were arrested, that Illinois will never find out about the DUI and us will not revoke their Illinois driving privileges.
 
 While this sounds very interesting and could possibly be successful, I also have just been retained by a client who was told to obtain a license in a different state by his attorney in that state when he was being represented for a driving under the influence of alcohol charge there. Unfortunately, the strategy did not work in this clients case and he is now revoked in Illinois for one year hard time due to the fact that he does not reside officially in Illinois anymore.
 
 I always tell prospective clients that the best way to clear up your Illinois drivers license after being revoked for a DUI is to be honest and to comply with the rules of the Secretary of State issues so that you can have the shortest amount of time possible revoked. If you are honest and you do with the Secretary of State is looking for you won't be revoked for long. Then, you can be one of our successful license reinstatement cases as opposed to someone who has to try to finagle the system.
 
 If you have any questions about the license reinstatement process in Illinois or if you have been revoked for a driving under the influence of alcohol charge, feel free to contact John W Callahan at any time.
