There’s no other way to put it — being charged with a driving offense is not fun. We know it’s tough, and you might be stressed about what’s going to happen. But we also know you can get through it.
We know because we’ve helped thousands of people get the best outcome for DUIs, misdemeanor charges, and felony offenses. We’ve represented truck drivers, doctors, and lawyers. We’ve handled first-time DUIs and serious charges after fatal accidents. In short, we’ve seen it all.
And that’s why we can confidently say that Driver Defense Team can get you the best result.
The best legal representation that exists. Period.
When you hire Driver Defense Team, you aren’t just hiring one lawyer. You’re hiring the entire team. That means you’re not limited to a single attorney’s perspective — you get the benefit of over 114 years of experience. When our team comes together in collaboration, each bringing their unique insights to a case, it completely changes the game.

4 ways to get in touch
Choose which works best for you
We know you’re busy. You might not have time to talk on the phone for half an hour when you’ve got the kids or you’re at work. That’s why we make it easy for you to reach us.
Where to find us
We usually respond within 15 minutes if you contact us during regular business hours. If it’s after hours, we’ll contact you the next morning.
Wondering what to expect when you get in touch?
Your free consultation is an informal chat in person or over the phone where we can learn about the details of your case.
- We’ll ask about your ticket or charge, including what it is, which county you’re in, and your next court date.
- We’ll also want to find out a bit more about what happened and what’s important to you.
This is what sets Driver Defense Team apart. We’re guided by your goals and how your ticket or DUI might affect your future. For example, a court supervision order might be a win for most attorneys, but if you’re working on getting your license reinstated when the police charge you, this sentence could actually damage your chances of getting back on the road. Or, perhaps the most important thing to you is a clean criminal record. Our defense strategy is informed by what you want.
- If we can help, we’ll quote you a price straight away. Your quote is the price you’ll pay — no exceptions. No hourly rates. No unpleasant surprises.
- You can make a payment via credit card or check right over the phone. We’re selective about how many clients we represent each month, which allows us to give our full attention to you when you need us.
We’ll get to work putting together your GamePlan — a personalized defense strategy designed to get you the best outcome. You can rest easy knowing you have the best Illinois traffic attorneys representing you.
What next?
Once you’ve received your customized GamePlan, you will see what it will cost to have the Driver Defense Team represent you. When you’re ready, you can make your payment to secure Driver Defense Team as your defense attorneys.
A legal assistant will then schedule a time for you to speak to your case manager. Your case manager is there for you. They will help you with everything, from answering questions about your case to reminding you when you have court.
Your case manager will want to know more about you and your case. To put you in a good position to get the best outcome, they will be thorough in their questioning.
Using this detailed summary, your attorney will give you the option(s) that align with your priorities the most. Your attorney will also lay out the pros and cons — the risks and rewards of each option. Again, we like to work with our clients in a collaborative way to ensure that our guidance considers every facet of your unique situation.
