Why You Should Never "Just Pay"

Mailing in your payment might seem like the easy way out, but in Illinois, paying the fine is a formal admission of guilt. This results in a permanent conviction on your driving record that can follow you for years.

The Cost of a Conviction

  • Insurance Spikes: A single conviction can increase premiums by 20% to 35% for up to three years.
  • License Points: Convictions add points to your record (e.g., 20 points for 15-25mph over).
  • Under 21 Risk: Drivers under 21 face an automatic suspension after just two convictions within 24 months.

The "Supervision" Trap

Many drivers try to represent themselves and accept "Court Supervision," not realizing its hidden limitations:

  • Lifetime Limits: For certain offenses, you only get one supervision in your lifetime. For minor tickets, you are generally limited to two per year.
  • CDL Holders: Supervision counts as a conviction for CDL purposes and will still appear on your MVR.
  • Gig Workers: Uber and Lyft background checks may still flag supervisions, potentially impacting your ability to drive.

How We Protect You

We proactively work to avoid convictions through superior negotiation in the 16th Judicial Circuit:

  • Aim for Dismissal: Our first priority is always a full dismissal of the charges.
  • Amended Charges: We can often negotiate a moving violation down to a non-moving equipment violation.
  • Save Your Time: We appear in St. Charles, Geneva, Aurora, and Elgin so you don't miss work.

Professional Defense in the 16th Judicial Circuit

The Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office is aggressive in traffic court. We leverage our daily presence in the Kane County Judicial Center to protect your record from the long-term impact of a conviction.

  • Petty Speeding (1–25 MPH): While not criminal, these add points to your license and spike insurance rates. We work to amend these to non-moving violations.
  • Aggravated Speeding (26+ MPH): In Illinois, 26-34 mph is a Class B Misdemeanor, and 35+ mph is a Class A Misdemeanor. We focus on negotiating these down to prevent a permanent criminal record.
  • CDL & Professional Drivers: We provide specialized defense for commercial drivers whose livelihoods depend on maintaining a clean MVR.
