Our Chicago-based law practice focuses exclusively on Illinois driver’s license reinstatement.

In this video, our office answers a common question:

Will a DUI Conviction Revoke my Illinois Driver’s License?

Under Illinois law, the Secretary of State is required to revoke a driver’s license when they receive a report of a DUI conviction from a court.

Unlike a suspension, an Illinois driver’s license revocation is infinite.

To obtain an Illinois driver’s license after a revocation, a person must be proactive.

The Secretary will not automatically reinstate a license on the “projected reinstatement eligibility date.”

In Illinois, a revoked driver must attend a license reinstatement hearing to demonstrate that they have made sufficient lifestyle changes to safely drive again.

Driver’s license reinstatement hearings are complex. A revoked driver should seek the advice of an experienced Illinois driver’s license attorney before making any legal decisions.

For Illinois suspensions and revocations, we welcome revoked drivers to call our office for a free consultation on the driver’s license reinstatement.
