QUESTION
What questions should my husband be prepared to answer at an Admin hearing?
Asked on Aug 20th, 2013 on DUI/DWI - Illinois
More details to this question:
My husband lost his license about 20 years ago for multiple (3) DUI convictions His job is moving and he needs to get his license back to keep his job. He tried once with an attorney and he was denied. He tried again by himself and he was denied. It has been 10 years since he tried. Are there things he should bring with him to the hearing and what questions should he be prepared to answer. Does he have to have another evaluation before he goes. It seems like they ask some very speicif questions - like how many drinks did you have the last time you drank, but it was so long ago that he would have to lie. Last time he said that he didn't remember and was denied.

I presume that you are asking about the formal hearing at the Secretary of State's office. These hearings are very detailed. A person's entire history is evaluated including the facts surrounding the original incidents that caused the license to be revoked. It is always best to have an experienced attorney assist a person in legal proceedings such as these. Having a lawyer will help in proceeding in a logical, effective manner. No one can guaranty results, however.
Please contact an experienced lawyer as soon as possible. This posting is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice nor establish an attorney-client relationship between the parties.
