Frequently asked questions
What is court supervision on an Illinois speeding ticket?
Supervision is a deferred, non-conviction outcome: complete the period (often with traffic safety school) and the case is dismissed, keeping the conviction off your Secretary of State record. It's generally capped at two per 12 months, and an attorney in our network can often secure it without you appearing.
When does speeding become a crime in Illinois?
At 26 mph over the limit. 26–34 over is a Class B misdemeanor and 35+ over is a Class A — with real jail exposure and tighter limits on supervision. Those citations should never be handled without counsel.
How does the Illinois conviction-count suspension work?
It's convictions, not raw points, that trigger suspension: three moving-violation convictions inside 12 months (two in 24 months if you're under 21) and the Secretary of State suspends you, with the length keyed to your point total.
Do I need to show up to an Illinois courthouse?
Rarely for a routine ticket — a licensed Illinois attorney can appear on your behalf in most circuit courts. We connect you with an Illinois attorney who handles the appearance and negotiates the disposition.
Is a Chicago-area ticket handled differently than a downstate one?
Same statutes, different local practice — Cook County call procedures differ from smaller circuits. That local-practice knowledge is a real part of what an Illinois traffic attorney brings.
