In Illinois, your license may be revoked if you are convicted of Driving under the influence (DUI), various traffic offenses, or another offense involving a fatality. However, revocation or suspension of your license may not be permanent. Drivers who seek to have their driver’s license reinstated can request an administrative hearing with the Secretary of State. There are both formal and informal hearings.
If your driver’s license has been suspended or revoked due to multiple DUIs or a fatality-related offense, you may request a formal hearing. A formal hearing requires you to mail a written request for an administrative hearing with a $50.00 filing fee to the Secretary of State. During a formal hearing, the Secretary of State may ask you many detailed and intense questions, which can include the details of your arrest; if you have experienced any symptoms of alcohol abuse and dependence; and if you have made any changes to your life since the arrest. After a review of your testimony and documentation, the Secretary of State will issue a written order with its ruling. If you receive an unfavorable decision after a formal hearing, you may appeal that decision within 90 days of your last hearing. Your license can only be reinstated after going through the hearing process.
If your driver’s license has been suspended or revoked for an offense(s) not involving a fatality, a single DUI arrest, or for a sanction related to lesser moving violations, you will be questioned in an informal hearing. Informal hearings are held on a walk-in basis and could result in a restricted driver’s license or a full reinstatement of your driving privileges. So, an informal hearing can be just as confusing and intimidating as a formal hearing with the Secretary of State. If you have an experienced secretary of state hearings attorney with you on that day, you give yourself the best chance to get your driver’s license reinstated and your driving privileges restored.

Our team of lawyers was able to settle a reasonable deal and her personal work record was amended by the employer...
The most recent case that we've worked at for this Internet giant's company has been about the mergers & acquisition. That department, managed by our senior lawyer and managing partner Gerald Harrison worked on this specific case for over a year. But eventually, the legal facts and arguments that they have successfully gathered have proven our client's claims.
The Glippery company has been one of our oldest customers, with our team of lawyers working with them since 1992. Most recently we've been representing their interests when solving one of the business disputes inside their company's management. Eventually, it never made it to court hearings, which was our client's desire.
This is an example of an unlawful job termination done by a big pharmaceutical company... Following a long process of investigation and facts assessments, it turned out to be a case of discrimination based on race or ethnicity. Our team of lawyers and paralegals worked day and night and eventually won the case.
