Suspension of Driving Privileges

Per the implied consent law in Illinois a person charged with a DUI may be suspended for one year for not submitting to a breathalyzer test or six months if a person blows in a breathalyzer and yields a result above .08. This suspension can be contested and a driver can have his or driving privileges reinstated after a hearing contesting the suspension. For a second time offender the suspension can be for up to three years. The hearing will be in front of a judge and the motorist may contest the suspension on the following grounds.

  • The driver was not properly placed under arrest for an offense as defined in 625 ILCS 5/11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code (Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol/Drugs) or a similar provision of a local ordinance, as evidenced by the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket to other form of charge:
  • The arresting officer did not have reasonable grounds to believe that the driver was driving or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs, or a combination thereof:
  • The driver was not properly warned by the arresting officer as provided in 625 ILCS 5/11-501.1(c) of the Illinois Vehicle Code:
  • The driver did not refuse to submit to and/or complete the required chemical test or tests, pursuant to 625 ILCS 5/11-501.1 (d) of the Illinois Vehicle Code, upon the request of the arresting officer:
  • The driver submitted to the requested test or tests but the test sample of the blood alcohol concentration did not yield .08 or over
  • The vehicle was stopped pursuant to an illegal stop

Testimonials

I couldn't have prayed for a better law firm than Sulaiman Law Group. I found your team to be congenial, professional and consistently available throughout the process. I only wish I had found you sooner. I will highly recommend your firm to any and everyone!

Wow. An honest, ethical attorney who actually cares about people. I know, how can that be. Well, you need to talk to Ahmad Sulaiman to find out.

He has literally saved my life; and, that is not a metaphor. His office has fought for me where few firms in the country could have had any success; and, I am able to look forward with some hope.

You can be certain that, if you are not an attorney, whatever you THINK you know about the law, you are probably GUARANTEED to be completely wrong in your assessment. Consult with an attorney who actually cares, tempered with being brilliant.

I could not be in better hands; and, words do not describe how differently my life would have been had I not met Ahmad Sulaiman. It was literally an answer to a prayer. By Glen S

Ahmad is a real gem in the legal profession. I strongly recommend him.

Mr. Mohammed Badwan is an excellent, sincere and knowledgeable attorney. He is always on top of negotiations with creditors and gets back to you promptly to give you any updates.. He makes you feel very comfortable and stays with you as a good legal advisor through the entire process.

As a healthcare professional and business owner myself, I am very sensitive to the minute details with the quality of overall service- work ethics, professionalism and the team effort put in to achieve client's goals and satisfaction. I will give this group an A+ and wish them success and bright future. Keep up the good work....
