DUI conviction in Illinois over 10 years ago.
Anonymous4 views4 answers
How long can a DUI be held against me from another state? I have been denied getting my license back twice now from Illinois even after seeing evaluators and treatment specialists, and providing all documentation. The reasons it was denied seem to be ludicrous (IE "petitioner does not understand full ramifications of the conviction") what should me next steps be? Can an Oregon attorney help or would I need to get one licensed in Illinois?
In order to get an Oregon driver's license, you will need to clear your status in Illinois and be eligible for reinstatement in Illinois. Attorney's licensed only in Oregon will not be able to give you adequate counsel on issues related to Illinois law. You should contact attorney's who are licensed to practice in Illinois. Best of luck to you in resolving this situation.
You write that you've "been denied twice now from Illinois" on getting a license -- if you're residing in Oregon, you'll want to apply for a license with Oregon DMV. They'll ask about the nature of the prior suspension -- be honest. If that's your question: How do I get an Oregon license -- an Oregon attorney may be able to look at the "ludicrous" reasons for a suspension from a 10-year old DUII conviction. We could also work with your old Illinois attorney or associate with our own friends or colleagues in Illinois. Many of us are members of national associations of DUII attorneys, so we have plenty of folks to work with. DUII attorneys are often expert at translating what appears to be "ludicrous" reasons for denials to concrete plans of action for what to do next.
