In Illinois the courts cannot take a person’s driving privileges or give them back. Rather, the Secretary of State controls who is allowed to drive legally and who is not. There are literally dozens of reasons that a driver’s license can be cancelled, suspended or revoked. 

However, the courts and the Secretary of State are related. Things that happen in court are reported to the Secretary of State. There are literally dozens of reasons that a driver’s license can be cancelled, suspended or revoked based on things that happened in court. 

The first thing Harter & Schottland does for client who is seeking a driver’s license is determine the basis for the loss of driving privileges. In some cases, once we identify the reason for the cancellation, suspension or revocation, we can turn back time. 

 Lots of our clients lose their driving privileges because a prior case was not resolved properly. Sometimes we can reopen the case that caused you to lose your driver’s license and change the outcome. A new result in an old case in some cases will allow someone to reinstate driving privileges. 

 Clearing driving privileges by opening an old case is a great way to solve the problem. It is usually faster than doing a reinstatement hearing with the Secretary of State. Additionally, in most cases it is a less expensive option, as well. Moreover, since we are removing the cancellation, suspension or revocation, our client usually doesn’t even have to pay a reinstatement fee to the Secretary of State.
