There are 3 types of no valid driver's licenses.  Under 625 ILCS 5/6-601, No Valid Driver's License can be a class A Misdemeanor, a Class B Misdemeanor, or a petty offense.  Class A Misdemeanors are punishable by a maximum fine of $2,500 plus 364 days in jail. Class B Misdemeanors are punishable my a maximum fine of $1,500 plus 180 days in the County jail. Petty offenses are punishable by a maximum fine of $1,000 only.  There may be additional consequences through the Illinois secretary of State.   Whether you need an attorney or not is going to depend on the individual facts and circumstances of your case.  There are some cases where an attorney will not provide much value.
