If you are an individual charged with a DUI it is in your best interest to hire a qualified private attorney for many reasons. Perhaps one of the most important is that public defenders in IL cannot represent a defendant in a hearing on a Petition to Rescind.
This is the hearing where the Statutory Summary Suspension of your driving privileges is contested. The reason a public defender cannot represent someone in this hearing is because it is civil NOT criminal. Thus, the public defender’s office will not contest your license suspension.
If you have questions concerning your License Suspension, call Suhre & Associates any time at 312-450-6639 to speak with an attorney and find out what can be done in your particular situation.
