McHenry County, Illinois Traffic Ticket Lawyer
Every month, thousands of drivers are issued traffic citations in McHenry County. And everyday, I see people go to traffic court on their own and cost themselves money, a bad record and sometimes their jobs because they thought they could handle it on their own. For a lot of people, it is true that they can handle it on their own and request supervision with traffic school through the mail or online.
But not every traffic ticket is created equal. Some traffic tickets are misdemeanors and some require court appearances. And the impact a traffic ticket has on an accountant is much different than the impact on a school bus driver.
And what if you are suspended or revoked? A good traffic lawyer can help you get your license back and clean up past issues that may be causing suspension, revocation, or denials of employment.
Hiring a traffic ticket attorney might SAVE you money. If any of these situations apply to you, you may want a free consultation:
- Mutliple citations or tickets
- Have a prior court supervision on your record within the last 12 months
- Have gotten a traffic ticket under a commercial driver’s license (CDL)
- Want to keep your record as clean as possible after getting a ticket
