Are You at Risk of Losing Your License?
In Illinois, state law requires automatic driver's license suspension beginning 46 days after a DUI arrest, if there is no motion to stop it. This suspension can last anywhere between three months and six months for a first offender and 12 months to three years for a repeat offender. If you take no action to challenge the suspension, it will occur whether or not you are convicted of DUI in the criminal case.
There is a way that you can fight driver's license suspension. We encourage you to get in touch with us as soon as possible. At the law offices of Michael T. Norris, Ltd. and John W. Callahan, Ltd,, we believe that the first week or two after an arrest are the most critical for finding opportunities to meet our goal: helping you keep your license.

Making the Right Moves to Challenge the State
Mike Norris and John Callahan take every possible step to fight both your criminal DUI/DWI case and your civil driver's license suspension case. Mike and John can file a motion right away to stop the 46-day clock from ticking.
We'll roll up our sleeves and file documents demanding a formal driver's license suspension hearing. If the State or local prosecutor does not provide a hearing on these motions within 30 days or the first court date, they will not be able to suspend your license at all. You keep your right to drive and the suspension is taken off your record. We know that you rely on your right to drive to work, to the store, to take your children to school and for a wide range of other important tasks.
In addition to handling standard driver's license suspension matters, we can also handle cases involving commercial driver's licenses (CDL). These hearings are handled somewhat differently, before the Illinois Secretary of State in either Chicago or Springfield.
As experienced defense lawyers,, we know the steps to take to protect your driving privileges. The goal is clear: give you the best chance to beat your suspension, period. Our team is available to serve people in Chicago, Schaumburg and the surrounding parts of Illinois.
