Do you cover all Cook, DuPage, Will, Kane, and Lake county courthouses?

Yes. Intake is handled by Illinois Ticket Pro, and legal services are performed by attorneys at The Traffic Defense Firm. Regular courthouses include the Daley Center, Skokie, Rolling Meadows, Bridgeview, Maywood, Markham, Wheaton, Joliet, Waukegan, and nearby branch courts.

Do you handle aggravated speeding, reckless driving, and CDL violations?

Yes. We routinely handle aggravated speeding (26–34/35+), reckless driving, accident-related citations, suspended or revoked license, no insurance, and CDL matters that can impact your job and safety rating.

How long does a typical case take?

Most traffic tickets resolve in one court date; some DUI and complex matters need multiple dates for discovery, negotiations, or hearings. Local court rules and calendars drive timing—we’ll give you realistic expectations up front.

Will my insurance go up?

Insurance carriers look at convictions and reported violations. Our strategy focuses on outcomes—like supervision or amended charges—that help minimize points and reporting, when legally attainable.

What should I send before my consultation?

Upload a photo of your ticket or DUI paperwork, the court date and location, and any proof of insurance/remedy documents. If available, include your Illinois driving abstract.

I live out of state or hold a CDL. Can you still help?

Yes. We regularly help out-of-state drivers and CDL holders. We’ll advise on home-state consequences, employer requirements, and the best path to protect your record.

Outcomes, Records & License

Will a traffic ticket show up on my record?

Our priority is keeping a conviction off your record whenever the law allows. Depending on your facts and history, options may include court supervision, an amended charge, or a dismissal. We tailor strategy to your courthouse, judge, and record to protect your license and insurance.

Can you prevent points or insurance hikes?

Insurance carriers react to convictions and reported violations. We aim for outcomes that minimize reporting—like supervision or reductions—when legally attainable. We’ll explain what result best protects you and why.

How long will a ticket or DUI affect my record?

It varies by charge and result. Supervision generally avoids a conviction; some outcomes may still be visible to law enforcement or insurers. We’ll map out short- and long-term impact so you can make an informed decision.

What if I have prior tickets or a past DUI?

Prior history affects eligibility for certain dispositions. We factor your record into negotiations and court strategy to seek the best available outcome under Illinois law.

Do you handle aggravated speeding, reckless driving, and accident cases?

Yes—aggravated speeding (26–34/35+), reckless driving, and accident-related citations are common. These can carry enhanced penalties; early strategy helps protect your record and license.

Can you help with suspended or revoked license and reinstatement?

Yes. We advise on steps to restore driving privileges and avoid new problems that jeopardize reinstatement. See License Reinstatement for a deeper overview.
