Joliet Illinois Speeding and Traffic Defense Attorneys
The attorneys at Carlson, Zelazo & O’Dekirk frequently represent their clients when they have been charged with a traffic offense. Penalties for traffic violations can vary. Typically, they are punishable by fine only. However, if any aggravating factors exist, such as speeding more than 40 miles over, prosecutors may seek jail time. We can guide you through the court process, and will work to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.
If you possess a CDL (Commercial Driver’s License), the possible penalties may be harsher on your license. In Illinois, the Secretary of State’s Office often won’t recognize court supervision even if the judge gives it to you. Furthermore, charges such as driving your truck with an overweight load can have a severe financial penalty that can be thousands of dollars. The attorneys at Carlson, Zelazo & O’Dekirk frequently handle CDL issues. We understand that your CDL is often your livelihood. We will do everything we can to protect it.
We handle all types of traffic tickets, including:
- Speeding
- Driving with an overweight load
- Reckless driving
- Speeding in a construction zone
- Passing a school bus
- Hit and run
