Traffic Violations

Cook County Traffic Court Attorney
Dedication & Success

Any traffic ticket is potentially serious. Depending on the offense, you may end-up paying high-risk insurance. In addition, if you lose enough points on your driver's license, your license may be revoked. If you have a commercial driver's license (CDL) or need your vehicle for work, a traffic ticket could potentially jeopardize your livelihood. Illinois and Indiana have both recently written laws which prevent CDL drivers from receiving certain favorable sentences, like Supervision or Infraction Deferral. Wigell & Associates is successful in having these tickets amended and preventing any conviction or points from appearing on your driving record.

Don't Give Up Hope

Just because you have been ticketed does not mean that you are guilty of the traffic offense. Traffic tickets can be dismissed, or you could be found not guilty. If you have been charged with a serious traffic offense, do not give up and plead guilty.

Our Cook County traffic court lawyers will represent you in traffic court and do everything that is possible under the law to minimize the consequences of your ticket. If your license has been revoked, we will also represent you at your driver's license reinstatement hearing.
