Bloomingdale Crime

I received a DUI in 2007 with a judgment of 18 months Court Supervision. I did not commit any other crimes during that period but was unable to pay the fine. In 2009 I received a 2nd DUI and a Conviction with Probation was entered, and completed, but was unable to pay fine. My abstract from the Secretary of State's Office does not have the "Failure to Pay" listed under the DUIs but shows 2 convictions instead of 1, showing an initial revocation of 2 years, an an extension of revocation for an additional 3 years. How can I present a technicality of 1 DUI conviction and that I served the mandatory revocation for a full license reinstatement in a formal hearing?

Supervision is a promise by you dot follow the supervision order, including paying all fines. Upon your failure to pay...

First time offender. Very polite and respectful when doing all the officer asked of me. He told me that he had written the ticket as a "village ticket" rather than a "County" and that this would help me in court. He also told me he would not appearing in court on the day of my court date. What does this mean for me? I am the Village Fire Chiefs god daughter. After the officers found that out they were very upset in having arrested me.

I was charged with driving while license revoked. I was sentenced in march and got out in october. This was my first time down. Upon my release i had no stipulations and signed my MSR. Since then i have complied with my release. Calling when i am supposed to. Being respectful and never droped dirty. They just put me on home montering 2 weeks ago. The agent stated now i have new orders from the parole board. How is this? I have called more than a half of dozen people that where with me in the IDOC and they are infact not on home montering. Why have they done this to me? Can i do anything to contest or appeal this?

I can say that what others get in no way impacts what your get when violent offenses are at issue. I can also say that...

I received 2 DUI's, and the first dui (2006) I initially was sentenced to court supervision, but that was revoked due to non compliance of judges orders, in 2010 I received my 2nd dui, was put on probation because of that, and additionally that would be my 2nd conviction. My statutory summary suspension on the 2nd DUI was originally for 3 years, ( I refused breath test ), 7 months after my 2nd DUI I was pulled over while DWLS (driving while license suspended) resulted in a conviction, I was told my license won't be eligible for full reinstatement until 2019,and obviously my summary suspension was extended when could I possibly get a restricted drivers license? Additionally I have been absinthe from alcohol for close to 4 months, and don't intend to drink ever again.have a great suportgroup

I have 2 misdemeanor DUIs from when I was 18 in 07 that I was sentenced for in 09. I was sentenced to probation for the 2nd one prior to the court date for the 1st in a diff. county after having probation revoked twice before for non-payment of fines from a misdemeanor damage to property while i was 17 in the same county. I was awaiting sentencing for the 1st in their county jail with a hold in the other for petition to revoke probation for my fines. I was homeless at the time so I requested to be given jail time instead of more probation & fines because I knew history would repeat itself. The law about court fines has since changed & my 5 year revocation of my license has finally passed but i am now a struggling single mother. I was making regular payments until I was laid-off from my job

you should seek out a consultation from a DUI lawyer familiar with dealing with the DMV in your area. You may be able...

My brother has 5 convictions and 1 supervision, not sure there is a difference between the two. The prosecution is charging him with a class x felony, the dui's are the only thing on his record and he's never been in an accident. He has anxiety, alcohol and depression issues and is on lots of medication, which is obviously no excuse, but I'm wondering there are any ways to reduce this to class 1 instead. Our lawyer who represented him last case has said there is nothing he can do. Is it worth looking at another lawyer or is the prosecution's mind made up? With a class x felony 6 year sentence how long would he have to serve? With jail overcrowding is he at all eligible for work release or something similar? Any advice is appreciated.

Your brother is in serious trouble but it is worth looking for another lawyer. Donald Ramsell in Wheaton would be your...

In 2007, I was arrested for 2 misdemeanor DUIs in different counties within 2 mos of each other when I was 18. I went to court for 2nd arrest 1st & was sentenced to probation, fines, com service, impact panel, & classes. Then at court for 1st DUI arrest, public defender told me I should have been offered supervision for my 1st offense because of Illinois DUI laws & mandatory sentences per DUI. I asked 4 jail time instead of probation because I was homeless & would not have any $ to pay for fines. Also had probation in a diff county revoked two different times for a misdemeanor destruction of prop&underage drinking charge when i was 17 for failure to pay fines & court costs/fees, but was given the exact same sentence as my 1st DUI. I know DUI laws have changed a lot since 07 just curious.

Supervision is never automatic. it is always up to the judge. Downstate, Champaign County will not give supervision to...
