Facing a Mandatory Court Date in DuPage?

If your ticket is marked 625 ILCS 5/11-601.5, you are facing a criminal charge, not a simple traffic ticket. Under Illinois law, aggravated speeding offenses carry the risk of a permanent criminal record.

Speeding 26–34 MPH over the limit is charged as a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a $1,500 fine.

Speeding 35 MPH or more over the limit is charged as a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine.

Our goal is to secure Court Supervision (to avoid a conviction), or negotiate a reduction to a non-criminal offense to protect your record whenever legally possible.
