Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
A person can be charged with driving under the influence in Illinois when he or she drives a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or any combination of drugs that renders a person incapable of driving safely. A conviction of a DUI on your record can result in the revocation of your driver’s license, high fines and court costs, and lengthy jail sentences. In Franklin County, protecting your privilege to drive a vehicle is crucial due to rural areas with a lack of available public transportation options. Contact Levanti Law to find out how we may be able to help you.
Driving with a Suspended or Revoked Driver’s License
If you have been charged with driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license, you could potentially be facing mandatory jail time if convicted. Driving with a suspended or revoked license can also be enhanced to felony offenses for certain individuals. In addition to these penalties, each offense for driving with a suspended or revoked license can make it more difficult for someone to get his or her license reinstated.
Reckless Driving/Fleeing & Eluding a Police Officer
Attorney Amanda Levanti represents clients facing charges of reckless driving or fleeing and eluding a police officer. She gives each case the individual attention it deserves and will advocate for you to ensure your rights are protected in court.
Petty Traffic Offenses
If you have received a petty traffic ticket for an offense, such as speeding, improper lane usage, disobeying a traffic control device, or improper operation of an ATV, you want an attorney who has comprehensive knowledge of the Illinois traffic laws to help advise you of the best way to handle your citation. Levanti Law has the experience to assist you in these cases.
Operating an Uninsured Vehicle
If you received a citation for operating an uninsured vehicle, it is important that you are aware of potential consequences, such as having your driver’s license suspended, high mandatory fines and court costs, and increased insurance rates. Amanda Levanti can advise you of the best way to proceed in handling your citation.
Commercial Driver’s License
If you have a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), then your livelihood probably depends on you being able to drive in the state of Illinois. CDL holders who receive a citation for any traffic violation, even if the citation was received while driving their personal vehicle, may face obstacles when attempting to renew their Commercial Driver’s License. Contact Levanti Law today to find out the best way to handle your traffic citation and maintain your CDL.
