Traffic Law
The attorneys at the Kruger & Abell Law Firm can provide assistance in a wide range of traffic matters. For each type of charge, from routine moving violations to serious DUIs and commercial‑driver matters, our attorneys review the facts, identify possible defenses, and pursue outcomes that reduce fines, limit points, protect your driving privileges, and minimize insurance consequences. We provide legal representation for the following traffic matters:
Common Traffic Violations
- Speeding and moving violations (e.g., reckless driving, improper lane use)
- DUI / OWI (driving under the influence or while impaired) and related chemical test issues
- Driving while license suspended or revoked
- Commercial driver (CDL) violations
- Red-light and speed-camera citations and municipal ordinance violations
- Accident-related citations and hit-and-run allegations
- Points management, license reinstatement, and SR-22 insurance filings
- Traffic misdemeanors (e.g., aggravated speeding, reckless conduct) and felony traffic charges
We provide full-service representation for traffic matters. This includes starting with a detailed case evaluation of citations, police reports, bodycam/dashcam footage while handling court appearances, arraignments, plea negotiations, motions, and trials.
We negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or secure diversion programs and pursue post‑conviction remedies like record sealing, license reinstatement, and SR‑22 guidance. We also offer specialized CDL defense to protect commercial driving privileges and address federal and state disqualification risks.
Why You Need A Traffic Law Attorney
Traffic convictions in Illinois can result in immediate financial penalties (fines and court costs), points on your driving record and increased insurance premiums, and administrative actions by the Secretary of State such as license suspension or revocation. More serious or repeat offenses, especially DUIs or aggravated traffic crimes, may carry jail time or probation and can produce long‑term consequences for employment, particularly for commercial drivers or positions that require a clean driving record. Having an experienced traffic attorney can help you navigate these potential issues.
