Police in the Greater Chicago metro area take driving without a license very seriously.

We have been protecting the rights of drivers charged with traffic offenses and misdemeanor driving offenses in the Greater Chicago metro area for more than 17 years.
Experienced Attorney Protecting the Rights of Minor-Age Drivers
Often, a driver charged with driving without a license is under the legal adult age of 21. Prosecutors and judges often take the minor status into account and prefer penalties that will not include a criminal offense on their record. We will pursue every strategy to keep a misdemeanor charge off your son's or daughter's juvenile record and we have an excellent record of success with local police and prosecutors.
If Your License Was Revoked or Suspended
Police and prosecutors take a harsh stand on driving on a suspended or revoked license, particularly if the penalty was the result of a DUI offense. Driving on a suspended or revoked license may be charged as a class A misdemeanor, increasing the possible penalties to one year in jail and up to a $2,500 fine.
