Defending Driving with a Suspended License Charges at the Chicago Courthouse

To the untrained eye, charges for driving with a suspended license can seem pretty cut and dry. Either your license is suspended or it’s not. Either you were driving or you weren’t. In truth, however, there are many ways our firm can help you improve your outcome if you are facing this charge.

The first step to defending this charge in Chicago is often to attempt to resolve the issue(s) that originally caused the suspension. We will examine your driving record to determine why your license was suspended and if there is an opportunity to remedy the problem. In some cases, there are many problems on your record that have caused the suspension, and we will attempt to remedy as many as possible. Our goal is to help our clients avoid the serious consequences of the charge against them.
